Robert Brian Boyle

BOYLE - Robert Brian Age 78, passed away October 17, 2008, after a long illness at his home in Lake Wales, FL. He was born January 10, 1930 in Buffalo, NY. Bob graduated from the University of Buffalo in May 1952 with a degree in Pharmacy. Robert retired from Allen Mac Pharmacy in North Tonawanda, NY in 1992. Bob loved to be by the water prompting him and wife Shirley to purchase a home on the Niagara River, only several miles upstream from Niagara Falls. During the time they owned that property, they converted extra space into a Bed and Breakfast so others could enjoy their beautiful setting. When they moved to Florida, Bob always enjoyed the view of the pond and wildlife in their community from the comfort of their screen room. Robert is survived in death by his loving family, wife Shirley (Horton) Boyle; children Brian (Wendy) Boyle of E. Amherst, NY, Brenda (Ray) Shupe of Port Washington, WI, Beth Boyle of Lake Wales, FL and Blake (Brenda) Boyle of Tonawanda, NY.
