I am deeply saddened to hear of Boyd's passing. We were childhood friends growing up together in Wheatfield, IN. Although we went our separate ways after high school, those bonds of friendship were never severed. The last couple times we visited (2006 & 2008), he talked proudly of his family and the things his children had done. He had a great sense of humor and we will all miss him. Good-bye my old friend - we'll meet again.
