What we know
U.S. Army Military Police, 1969–1971.
He wrote songs and poetry — the family calls them the “Boyce Stories.”
Worked for M & T Chemical Co. in Carrollton as a security guard, and at the Kentucky State Reformatory in La Grange as a corrections officer.
A very talented person — he could write and play his own songs, wrote poetry, and had some of his poems published. He was well known for telling his ‘Boyce Stories,’ that only he could tell.
His medals: National Defense Service Medal, M-14 Rifle Marksman, M-16 Rifle Sharp Shooter, .45 Caliber Pistol Marksman, 90 MM M67 Expert.
He had four grandchildren (names not yet found).
In January 2014 he was in Jewish Hospital on a ventilator, working with physical therapy — he had just turned 65.
