I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Boyce’s passing he was such a kind and caring soul. Always had a smile on his face and was willing to help out wherever needed. He was a very avid volunteer in scouting and would love to hear his stories of those adventures and a wonderful volunteer with the Ilderton Lion’s Club. My Mom and Dad loved their times with Auntie Frieda and Uncle Boyce and they will all be together again. Uncle Boyce was so proud of his children, grandchildren and his new great grandson Lincoln. He will be dearly missed. May the memories that you hold in your heart give you strength and peace at this difficult time. Sending you all hugs

Ken Dunsmore
So sorry to hear of Boyce’s passing. To Brad and family I wish to say my wife Linda and I were very fortunate to spend a lot of scouting meetings and camping weekends with Boyce and Frieda. Both contributed a lifetime of volunteering for the scout program. Boyce was part of a team training new scouters in the skills of canoeing, and bercause of what we learned we have been able to share this with hundreds of new scouters and kids over many years, exploring the beauties of Canada’s lakes and rivers. They are together again. God Bless you all.
