In memory of my cousin Dick Boyd .......I send my condolences and prayers to all in his family. My memories of Dick are when we were teenagers playing basketball and baseball for all the Weymouth sport teams. Dick was always smiling and laughing, and such a fun guy to be around. As he grew taller and bigger than any of us ,he was such a competitor , and he was always gentle and took it easy on us. During those years , I'm glad we were able to share some time together.
