    Millie, Angie & Steven,

    I just took a call from Mom and she told me of Boyd’s passing. Although truly saddened to hear it, it also took me back to such amazing memories of being next door neighbors with you fine people in Clarenville, so many years ago. As you suffer through these difficult times, I realize that you will be comforted by knowing what a fine man Boyd was, and what a role he played in so many lives – including mine, and all of our family. Condolences from all of the Hickey’s as you go through this; you will all be in our thoughts and prayers.
