To the family of William Boyd: You have my Prayers and Condolences in the Homegoing of your loved one. William and I were classmates at Carver High School. Praying that God will grant you His Peace and Comfort that surpasses all others. Amen! Cloreace Williams Eppenger

As I was standing at my cousin, Vera’s burial site, a gentleman approached and called me by a name that only someone can do that goes back to my childhood. It took me a moment to gather my thoughts. I hadn’t seen William since the 60’s. We went back to grammar school days and came up to the present. Each of us wondering about the other. Often realizing that we were in certain areas of the world at similar times. It was heart warming to hear that you were still with him Kitty. I’m sorry...

I send my heartfelt condolences out to family of a man that in my opinion was the epitome of manhood. Mr William had a presence that exuded manhood and commanded respect and he is one of the most awesome people I have ever known. Rest peacefully on the other Master Sergeant William Boyd . Neighbor,Role Model, Friend, and Big Brother.

To the entire Boyd family, please accept my sympathies and condolences upon the passing of your loved one, William. He was a friend and teammate. He was the captain of both the football and basketball teams in Carver High School´s last year (1970). He was a great football player, our leader, a hero to many of us first-time players, and just a good guy. He will be missed. God bless you all.

To my Classmate and Friend Cleadis and family You have my sincere sympathy during this difficult time.

To the Boyd Family you are in our thoughts and prayers. May God give you all strength and peace. Love Mr. & Mrs. Lawrence Robinson and family.❤❤❤
