Edward Boyd Obituary

Loving husband, father and grandfather, Edward J. Boyd, passed away on October 5, 2024. Married to Kathleen ("Kay") for over 60 years, who predeceased him just 4 months ago; he couldn't live without her. Terrific father to Colleen Boyd, Kelly Urman and Kathy Kirk, and doting grandfather to Nicole Urman-Mirza (Amar), Alexander and Douglas. You were a wonderful husband, father and grandfather and we will miss you. No services per Dad's request.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
