I only met him once or twice and remember how he brightened when he talked about his children and grandchildren. I could tell they meant the world to him. Rest in peace Mr. Boyd.

Roger: I remember you when I was quite a young pup with P&P. I knew you only briefly before we both went our separate ways. I know your family will miss you dearly. Catch a lot of fish! Kathleen Carriker
