Art and Andy:


A few minutes ago I type Boyce's name on face book to see if I could locate him and to my shock, I have just learned that he went home to be with the LORD and your mother last march. I know he, your mother and Aunt Norma are having a glorious time together. Please accept my condolence. Would love to hear from you. Uncle Hugh

I met Boyce and his family back in the early '80s when I was in college. I remember him as a christian man with silent strength and great character. His family was so gracious and welcoming to me. We had continued to exchange Christmas cards every year.

I know he loved his family very much and I know this is a very hard time for all of you. May God bless you with wonderful memories to make you smile and the truth that you will see him again one day. I am so sorry for your loss.

With deepest and heartfelt sympathies -

Boyce was like a father to me and I will miss him dearly. He welcomed me into the family unconditionally and showed me his with faith and love I was like one of his kids. I pray I can be half the man he was and really wish I had his hair!

Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers now. Your dad and mom were such a strong, godly influence for us when we were your neighbors in College Park.
