My deepest sympathies to you all. I did not have the privilege of knowing Mr. Boyce but to have reared such an amazing son, he must have been an incredible man. I hope that the thoughts and prayers of family and friends will sustain Chuck, Sandy, Angel, Ally, and all of the family in this time of grief.

Mrs. Boyce, Chuck, Becky, and extended Boyce family members .... please know that although it seems impossible right at the moment, the pain that you are feeling will slowly dull over time, and the void will be filled with a million amazing memories of your husband, brother, father and friend ... I know first-hand that Mr. Boyce made a great impression on all of us who had the good fortune to know him. The Hazlet community on whole has lost an invaluable member and heaven has surely reaped the benefits of his passing. Hugs and prayers, Cyndi
