Mrs. Boyle,
I want to extend my condolences on the passing of your wonderful husband. I worked for him at E-Systems for five years, and then I went back into teaching.
He was by far the best boss I ever had!!! He talked so lovingly about his family to me!!! He truly was like a second dad, and he believed in me when others didn’t!
Sandi Summers
We love you dad!
Grandpa was always delighted to see his family and friends. His face would light up with a big smile.
Between the trips to Disney World, Busch Gardens, and Adventure Island he could be counted on to be game for a good time. He was up for a joke and enjoyed making other people happy.
The best part is that he knows we loved him as much as he loved us.
Mabel Jackie and Judy Having met your Dad before all of you how could I have not loved your family You are special people and I love you all lots Annexxxx
Mabel, Jackie and Judy,
Heartfelt sympathy in these difficult days. Words are never enough at a time like this, but please know that Uncle Jack will always be remembered by Frank and me for his wisdom, comfort, and help with Mom in 2000. Like Mom, Jack can rest now.
Mrs. Boyle and Family:
Please accept my heartfelt sympathies for your loss. I worked with Jack at E-Systems in the Contracts Department. Jack was a pleasure to work with, had a terrific, dry wit and was always supportive. He spoke with great pride and love of his family. Jack will be missed by many for a long time. Please know that you and your family are in the thoughts and prayers of myself and many of the original “E-Teamers”.
