Kenneth Boyle Obituary

Boyle, Kenneth A.
Kenneth A Boyle passed from this life on November 28, 2011, after a long health struggle. Ken was a down to earth kind of guy who loved nothing more than to care for his family and the residents at Friendship Village. Ken was the "go to guy" for anything his family needed. He was an accomplished finish carpenter, a cinema buff, and had a wicked sense of humor. He was adored by his wife Lolly, and loved more than anything by daughters Heather and Allison. His mother in law Ann Whiting loved him as her own son, and saw the tremendous love he had for his family. Ken was the husband every mother wished for her daughter and the father every child should have. Kenny will be forever missed. He is survived by his Grandmother Mildred Boyle, Aunt Pat Boyle and Uncle Jack Boyle from Mogador, OH, Aunt Becky Blum from Akron, OH, Aunt Katie Boyle from Ravenna, OH and his loving sister LuAnn Plouse from Akron, OH. A celebration of his life will be held at Friendship Village on January 27, 2012 from 3:00-4:00 PM in Skirm Auditorium. 2645 E Southern Avenue, Tempe Arragements entrusted to Tempe Mortuary.

Dearest Lollie,
I was so sorry to hear about Ken. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the girls. I know that the memories of the years you shared here, will keep you warm this winter and until the time when you will be together once again.

Kenny...you taught me all there is to know about grace under pressure, unconditional love, and valor. You awed me with the depth of your love for my daughter and the children you had together. You were everything I could have wished for in a son-in-law, husband to my daughter, father to my grandchildren, and friend. I pray for the strength to comfort Lolly, Heather, Allison and myself over our loss of you. I wish mothers-in-law everywhere a son-in-law like you. Love, Ann
