Dear Sharon and family, please except our deepest condolences, on the passing of your brother Boyd. He was a kind and fun man. Our family had the pleasure of meeting yours when we arrived from England. I am so glad we made a trip to Orion a few years ago and visited with Boyd, Mable and Roy, Philip, and Marylou and Henry. Fly with the Angels Boyd. xoxox Freda.
Hi . I watched video of Boyd Stevens sitting in front of his shop and continued it till his last breath. The memories of those time and the surreal feelings in that soil , wind brought him back to Orion. I just felt the strong urge of him to live there and purest commitment ever. Life is harsh. We emerge from soil to emerge in it one day. My deepest condolences.
May god bless your family with good health and well being
