He was known for his amazing ability to lay a hardwood floor. A skill that he has passed on through generations of his family. He loved anything having to do with a retro car, throwing a line to catch the next big one, and the occasional ski trip.

Gerald Boyd had an amazing smile that shined the brightest when he was surrounded by loved ones. He was a friend to all, and loved by any who new him. He would give the shirt off his back if needed, and always had time for a chat with a stranger.
