I have just become aware of Jerry Boyd's passing. I mourn his passing, the world has lost a truly unique author.
I bought "Bob's Saucer Repair (Bob and Nikki Book 1)" on October 27, 2019 and over the following years I have bought all 52 of the "Bob's Saucer Repair" books. The highlight of any day was when looking through my emails I would find one from Amazon informing me that there was a new Bob and Nikki book.
I will miss Jerry's writing.
Go with God Jerry...

I grew up in the Oklahoma/Arkansas/Kansas @ Missouri corner. All of the manners and attitudes are exactly what I. Grew up with. My heart goes out to his widow and family.

I'm so saddened to hear of the passing of Jerry. My condolences go out to his wife children and family. He was such a good author I found him early on in his Bob and Nikki series. And have enjoyed all of his books since then. I really enjoyed the characters in his books personalities I'd like to think that they gave us some kind of a window into his own. I really hope that he inspired someone with a lot more talent in my own to continue to write in his style. I really would have liked to have met him. His sense of humor and wit we're very endearing. I will miss his almost monthly book releases dearly.

Jerry was such an amazing author. I discovered his Bob and Nikki series when it was at #20, and waited impatiently for each new book after that. The stories in his books were full of down to earth values and philosophies and I would imagine that he lived that same way. Thank you Jerry for sharing your imagination with the world and for giving such joy.
You will be missed by many and I can only hope that you have inspired someone to write as well as you did.
To Jerry´s family, thank you for sharing him and his talent. My heartfelt condolences are with you,as are my prayers.

My most sincere condolences to his wife and daughter, family and friends. He will be missed by the many, many people whose lives he touched. I never met him but read all of his Bob & Nikki and Fatman's Gift series. I thank him for the entertainment, the laughs and the knowledge he generously gave us readers. I eagerly looked forward to each books release and in between would reread my favorites. His books have been a bright note during some tough times. I was stunned to hear of his passing (much too young). Sending you peace and love during this difficult time.
