"Sad news,,, Scotty Boyd passed on Sunday,,,"
Text received today from George Frigerio.

Longtime friend, Dan Harris, BHS '67 wrote:
"Scotty was the class of 69. Lived in Long Beach for 35 years. Worked for Union Pacific Railroad and was retired. Loved lawn bowling and was becoming an accomplished artist. Never married, no children and somewhat a loner. Friends found him dead in bed after not showing up for bowling. That is all we know. Going to miss my buddy. We lived together at San Diego State. We have seen Scotty for 32 straight years at the memorial race at Santa Anita for his brother Jack. We will miss Scotty."

Seems now the whole family has passed. God bless their souls. Little Scotty hiking in the Burbank hills together playing Little League baseball on the Bees with Jack and Don their Dad, our coach, what great memories. Bruce (Duke) hard to believe why are we still here? 💔 Rest in Peace Scotty.

I have very fond memories of Scott, especially from grade school and jr. high, hiking the hills, playing ball at the new Brace Park (where, BTW, he burned his legs very badly) and just talking and laughing all the time. RIP buddy.

Oh my gosh, my husband will be devastated. He grew up next door to Jack and Scott Boyd, like his second family. It's hard to believe the whole family is gone.

Bruce Fossler
Marilyn Williams Peterson, Yes. Very close to the BOYDS...they were johnny's second family...

Marilyn Williams Peterson

Just two weeks ago Scott and I talked for the better part of 4hrs at Santa Anita race track. We were there for the memorial races for his brother Jack. We talked about our friendship from kindergarten on. We laughed and agreed that our friendship was the reason we both went to advanced first. School was secondary. During the late 50's we truly lived the life of the movie Sandlot. Any kind of competitive sports, including mud castles, catching horned toads or throwing a baseball was all we cared about. Being an only child Scott became my brother. I am so thankful we were able to share our memories. RIP my brother Scotty. I wish I could share our memories but that would take a lifetime.

Lizzie Havens
Timothy Zuma Tim Tolnay, you'll always have the memories. Sorry, for the loss.

Larry O'Brien
Very nice tribute Tim, I too am so glad Scotty and I talked at length at the races, I even convinced him to come to our 50th.

At the Day of the Races, Scott was the last person Karen and I talked to on the way to the parking lot. Karen promised him a dance at the upcoming 50 year reunion and he looked forward to that day of celebration. We are both deeply saddened that that day will not happen. R. I . P. to this dear man and friend.
