Not sure what to say?

What an immense loss!

Fond memories of my boyhood buddy. Rest gently, my friend.

Boyd was one of the most genuine, unselfish musicians I've ever worked with. I always looked forward to any engagement that I got to play with Boyd, as singer or conductor. He was rare.

I'm so sad to hear of Boyd's death. He was an important part of my life at Grace Cathedral and in the years following too. He was a kind and generous guy and will certainly be missed by many.

I am so sorry, Linda.
