A man with a green thumb, Boyce took pleasure in gardening, nurturing plants with the same care he showed to those he loved. His interest in national and world affairs kept him informed and engaged, while his enjoyment of television offered him moments of entertainment and reflection.

Above all, Boyce was a family man. He is survived by his loving wife, Susan Burnett Duffie, with whom he shared a life full of love and mutual respect. He was a proud father to his sons, Aaron and Alex Duffie, and a doting grandfather to Connor, Zane, Ember, and Elijah.

Boyce's life was also brightened by the companionship of his dogs, Willow and Sophie, who were a source of unconditional love and joy throughout his days.

The legacy Boyce leaves behind is one of kindness, strength, and an unwavering zest for life. His memory will be carried forward in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
