F. "John" Boyd
Ernest "John" F. Boyd 1925 - 2009 WILMINGTON. He was a lifetime resident of The Boyd Farm, East Dover Road. Born December 1, 1925, at his home in Wilmington. Sadly, John moved on to that "Great Vermont Farm in the sky" on April 14, 2009, in the presence of his children and the wonderful staff at Vernon Green Nursing Home. John was first and foremost a farmer and the earth knew his name. John Boyd had outstanding gardens and a "green thumb" that neighbors and friends were envious of. He loved working in his gardens where he never allowed weeds. John always had a barn full of animals that he enjoyed taking care of. From the morning dews to the evening sunsets, he had a love of nature and a love of his family. John was the son of Milo and Helen Pratt Boyd. His siblings, Charlotte Fraser and Elliott "Pickle" Boyd, survive him. John leaves his children, Theresa Clare, Carol Boyd, Cleon Boyd, Leon Boyd, Tammy Snow and Dannie "Buck" Boyd; 14 grandchildren and eight great -grandchildren, who were the love of his life, and his former wife, Janice Batchelder. MEMORIAL NOTICE: Following his wishes, there will be a celebration of his life later this summer at his home in Wilmington. The date and time of this celebration will be announced at a later date. |
