Annette, I am so so sorry for your loss of Boyd. We had so many good times together with you all in Pigeon Forge. Boyd and Don were such good buddies and could talk forever about ‘computers’! He filled the gap and helped me so much with technical issues when Don was called home so quickly! You are in my thoughts and prayers as you begin this unwanted journey – never forget that God will walk with you ‘every’ step of the way!! Blessings to you, my Friend.

Sorry to hear about Boyd. We will miss him coming into the office at Weaverville Eye Associates working on our computers. He was a dear friend to us. We are praying for your family.
Dear Carla,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear ‘Daddy’. My sisters and I will always remember his patience & wisdom in guiding us in the computer world with our family business. His calm and gentle spirit was always present when he made ‘house calls’ to our office. We feel your sadness and send our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

I’ll always have fond memories of Boyd, over a good many years and two business locations,calmly solving my computer problems whenever they’d get beyond my capabilites. And I’ll regret he wasn’t able to continue with me a mutual interest in amateur radio he’d so recently discovered.

Carla, Karen, Kellie and all the family, Boyd was such a kind and gentle spirit. We know you all will miss him. I first met him in the mid 70’s and over the years he was always the same. It is my prayer that the Grace of our Loving Saviour and Memories of happy times will sustain you in the days ahead. God Bless each of you. Thoughts and Prayers.
Just wanted to let you know our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Mr. Boyd was such a fine man to be associated with for numerous years. We admire his honesty and integrity along with his patient and soothing voice for our needs. We truly cherished the time we were able to spend with such a unique and interesting man. May God bless and comfort the family.
