I can never forget the caring and compassion he displayed on a daily basis at the hospital
His sincerity was shown in every thing he did for his patients and their loved ones.
There will never be another one like him.

Dr Boardman was my husbands physician at a devastating time regarding my husbands health issue.
He was so kind and caring he informed us my husband was being sent to St. Louis, then said, " Let´s join hands and pray"
And we did.
I later was privileged to work with him ( as an RN) at Memorial Hospital and saw first hand the kindness and compassion he shared with all his patients and their families
He was a wonderful man and a great physician.

So sorry for your loss.
He was a compassionate, kind, caring physician that I had the privilege of working with at the hospital, as well as being my late husbands physician.
Definitely none of the finest human beings I have ever known.
