I was saddened to hear of the death of Dr. Boyce. I was his secretary for several years at Middletown Psychiatric Center. He taught me everything one needed to know about Court and Legal matters pertaining to the patients. Dr Boyce also was highly respected by his patients. He was so kind and patient, a nice man. He was a renowned Consultant on Forensic Psychiatric cases in all of NYS! NYS and all of us will miss him.

Dr. Boyce will be sadly missed. He was a true icon. I can remember when I first started working at Middletown Psychiatric Center in the 1980's, and Mr. Boyce just being one of the nicest people who just had a true caring heart for his patients.

Dr. Boyce was one of a kind. He took alot of time with everyone around him to make them feel special and teach a little something too. He will be remembered fondly.

Dr. Boyce was a night owl and was often in the halls of Horton Medical Center in the late evenings. A very kindly man, he was always happy to share experiences and to laugh. He has been missed.

Dr. Boyce was a very kind person. I knew him from my years at Orange Regional Medical. He & I worked together on some issues and he was an "old fashioned gentleman". It was my pleasure and honor to have known him.
