He was proud of his family, especially his grandchildren and the newest member of the family, his first great-grandchild.
Survivors include his wife of 66 years Kay, son Brad (JulAnn) Boice, two grandchildren Mitchel Boice and Matti (John) Matheson, great-granddaughter Layla Kay Matheson and four godchildren: Jon Storhoff, Rachel (Trouten) Peterson, Michelle (Boice) Peterson and Tim Burkholder.
He was preceded in death by his parents, daughter Jane, brother Robert Boice and sister Helen Swanson.
