Rev. Edward F. Boyle

Father Ed, Your unending fight for the cause of working people, your unfailing faith, your enthusiastic joy and optimism in your daily life, your gift to all of us who knew and loved you. You will be missed. God has surely prepared a place for you in his house, and I bet it looks a little like the Labor Guild!

Father,
You were an inspiration to me. Your self-sacrifice, caring, intelligence, good humor, and integrity serve as an inspiration to me. You have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. You married my husband Brad and I twenty two years ago and predicted that our families would become as one. I believe you blessed our union and helped us build a wonderful marriage and family. Thank you for all that you have done; you will be missed, but never...

Dear Boyle Family: Fr. Ed was a amazing individual. He touched so many people in so many ways. For myself and family, we were blessed to have Fr. Ed in our lives from early childhood.

Father Ed was at all the important moments in my life - and before. He married my parents, he celebrated Christmas Eve with us every year, and he helped ,my mother through her last days. I miss them both. I can't imagine a world without Father Ed, but I do know that it is a better place because of him

Father Ed,

May you rest in peace at the foot of our Lord. Your passion and compassion for all who worked in the Labor Movement, your family and your friends will never be forgotten. Our family will miss you dearly, the many weddings, births and deaths that you prayed over. You will always be remembered with laughs as well as tears. You are now in Heaven with the other members of our family who passed before you, and they are welcoming you with open arms. I will miss the religious...
