Lemuel Boyles

In 2007, Chaplain Boyles visited Bethel Seminary. I was so close to going in the military as a chaplain; however, I didn’t go. Here it is years later as I was searching the internet to find Chaplain Boyles, I just wanted to let him know I’m going through the process to become military Chaplain. Then, I found this page.

He was a man who genuinely cared about those he came in contact with. I’m sending my prayers to his family. I know it’s years later, but this is the type of effect Chaplain Boyles have on people. My prayers to his family.

My memories of this remarkable man go back to my childhood days in the early 1960's and the Olson Brothers Quartet came to my little church in Idaho. He was the high tenor, and what a treat it was to hear him sing. I was blessed to hear him two more times with the Olsons. I treasure those days. Thank you, Brother Boyles for all that you did.

I will miss Lem...he was my senior chaplain at Spangdahlum AFB in Germany in 1977....He baptized my daughter Larissa at Malstrom AFB, Montana. I attended his wedding with Aggie.

Dear Aggie, though the years & distance be great you & Lem hold very dear memories. Our prayers are with you.

Dear Aggie and family. It has been many years since last I saw you and Chaplain Boyles, but I will always remember his kindnesses to me and his joyful outlook on life. May God bless you all with peace and comfort.

Sorry to hear this sad news. Lem was wonderful to serve with at Lackland, a dear friend , a truly dedicated and effective chaplain, and above all a true servant of God.
Be assured of prayers for the repose of his soul and my sympathy to you and your family..

My prayers ring out to the Family of this General in God's Army. Dr. Boyles was my mentor and the one who ushered me into the Army Chaplain Corps. I will miss his positive spirit and guidance. Rest in Heaven Sir.

Greg, I am so sorry for your loss of your father. My prayers are with you.
