Dearest Joyce and family: I am so sorry Paul finally went to a different world to do his magic. I apologize for not making the services as I just had spinal disc replacement etc surgery the week prior and was still heavily medicated etc. I am thankful for the opportunity to know him and am sure the best parts of him have been passed down to carry on. May you rest now and take care of yourself; know he lives forever in all your hearts.
Respectfully and sincerely, Jane Reynolds (and son Dane Reynolds)

Dear Boyce Family;
I am very sorry for your loss and prayers for all of you. Dr. Boyce was a wonderful man and a great friend to my family. Over thirty years ago we were on the brink of losing my Mother (Mary Gilday, RIP) when I was a senior in high school. Dr. Boyce cared for her for over twenty years. They were friends and partners in her well being and health. They shared a respect and great faith which they often spoke about. My Mother was able to witness graduations, weddings and births of grandchildren because of Dr. Boyce. We will be forever grateful to this great man of medicine, family and most of all faith.

Over thirty years ago my Mother was very ill and became a patient of Dr. Boyce. Her situation was very serious and complicated. She was under the care of Dr. Boyce for over twenty years and they were friends and partners in her health and well-being.

We are so sorry for your loss of this great man of family, medicine and most of all faith.
