A few weeks ago, the Dim and Distant past section of this paper stated he had won the, Senior Boys athletic Championship of 1935. He was a superb basketball player and in the words of "Y. Duzzy, Wright" (sports editor Nelson' Osborne) of 50 years - ago, Boyd was born with "springs in his feet." He starred on the football team at B.H.S. and later with the famed "Aggies" of O.A.C. in the late thirties where his opponents were future Hall of Famers - Joe Krol, Royal Copeland, etc. He was a delight to watch playing first base for the Bowmanville Royals and he continued his baseball career in the semi- pro intercounty league in Niagara Falls where he had to face the vicious slants of World Series star Sal "The Barber" Maglie. After graduating as a chemist from O.A.C., he joined the Welland Chemical Works at Niagara Falls where he quickly climbed the ladder of success to the point where he was the plant manager. In Niagara Falls, he was happy with his wonderful wife and three children and the future was bright. He was involved in many activities - President of the Lions Club, Chairman of the Board at Brock University and playing bridge - and many people of Niagara Falls considered considered him the best bridge player in the city. ' His future was bright - then tragedy struck. In 1963, his beautiful 19 year-old daughter, Marianne, was killed in a car accident. The same week saw the terrible crash of the Air Canada plane at Malton and the assassination assassination of President Kennedy. Boyd never quite recovered from the loss of his daughter. He began to have trouble breathing and emphysema was diagnosed - the results of the twin devils of cigarette smoking and thè environmental environmental poison at the Welland Chemical Works. Seven years ago he had a stroke with only partial recovery. The last two years have been a hell on earth. His constant companion over this time was his tank of oxygen and one never saw him without a mask on his face of 02 lines through his nose. The only things making life tolerable tolerable for him was the constant care, love and loyalty of his wife "Dode" and his children, Nancy and David and his two grandchildren. Boyd showed unbelievable courage in his fight against the inexorable forces of his chronic obstructive, pulmonary pulmonary disease, His struggle is over, thank God. He was a fine man, a good husband and father and someone who never complained about his unfortunate unfortunate fate. To his younger brother he will always be a hero. At Alfie's Video and Books...
