Douglas F. Bozek, 52

CHESHIRE, Mass. —  

Mr. Douglas F. Bozek, 52, of Newmarket, NH, was a loving father, a dedicated son, and a card-carrying member of the John Belushi fan club. He died on Saturday, August 24, 2024, surrounded by loved ones in Lebanon, NH.

A lifelong collector, Doug’s passions included Blues Brothers memorabilia, celebrity autographs, and movies from the “golden age” of cinema. Beyond amassing the largest DVD collection known to man, Doug’s biggest goal in life was to be a good father. The success of this mission is illustrated through his two children, Lilla and Spencer Bozek.

Doug was born on March 5, 1972, to Frederick and Margaret (Thompson) Bozek in North Adams, MA. He attended schools in Cheshire and Adams and graduated from Hoosac Valley High School with the class of 1990. During his high school years, Doug was a talented artist and traveled to the Soviet Union with the International Friendship Club to help unite the next generation through art. He earned his bachelor’s in communication from Bridgewater State University in 1994, where he played a mean game of eight-ball and served as President of the Theta Chi Fraternity.

Doug worked for many years as a videographer in Community Television for the former Adelphia Cable in New Hampshire and spent his later years on various video restoration projects.

Besides his parents and his children, Doug is survived by his brother, Brian Bozek of St. Charles, MO; older sister, Elizabeth Morin and her husband Robert of Conway, MA; and younger sister, Amy Bozek of Savoy, as well as many extended family members.
