Boyd was a delightful friend of my family. We traveled with so many people on the bus every year to New Jersey, and we all had a great time. Boyd will be missed. God bless all of you during these trying times.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Boyd's family. I was Boyd's neighbor for many years, and I couldn't have asked for a nicer, kinder person to live next door to. May the Good Lord now hold him in his arms.
