Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Boyd was a good friend and a good neighbor. He was interested in the world around him and cared about his neighbors. He was always there with an encouraging, friendly word. I think he would agree that he had a good, full life and was loved and respected by those who knew him. I wish him well on his journey. I will miss him.
