Kevin E. Boyle age 74 of Wayne, passed away, on Tuesday, March 16, 2010 at the Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Wayne. His passing took place gracefully and peacefully while receiving the loving care of his family.
He was born in Passaic and had spent his formative years in Garfield. He received his education at St. Nicholas Grammar School and later at Pope Pius High School in Passaic graduating with the Class of 1954.
His family heritage was Irish and he was very proud to be an Irishman.
He entered military service soon after high school and served in the United States Air Force in the Strategic Air Command until May of 1968. His Air Force years brought him much enjoyment and he got to see and visit most of the world. At the conclusion of his military service in 1969, he lived in Toms River and Clifton before moving to Wayne thirty-four years ago.
Kevin then worked for Kean College as a Security Specialist for twenty-seven years before his retirement in November 1997.
From his boyhood forward, his inner dream was to become a veterinarian. That never panned out however he became a skilled K-9 trainer during his years in the Air Force.
Kevin was gifted with a joyous outreaching personality combined with a wry sense of humor that caused him to have many friends. He could play a mean Bag Pipe tune for everyone’s entertainment.
He will always be remembered by his family as a very loving, nurturing and caring father and grandfather.
Kevin met a pretty girl by the name of Gloria at a Parents Without Partners meeting and they developed a very beautiful relationship together. He always, in jest, complained that he had to work hard for the first kiss, but with that accomplished they soon married and had a “fabulous loving” marriage together for thirty-three years.
Kevin enjoyed the community around him and was a member of the Mountain View Masonic Lodge 154 where he had served as Master in 1986, the Scottish Rite in Lincoln Park and Salaam Shrine in Livingston. He served in the Field Music program at Salaam Shrine Center and as Circus Co-Chairman. Kevin also gave much of his personal time with the “Shepherd’s” who transported children in need of hospital treatment to both the Boston and Philadelphia Shriners Burn Hospitals for Children.
He served as High Priest of Adelphi Royal Arch Masons #33.
He served as Patron of the Mountain View Chapter #205 of the Order of the Eastern Star, was a member of the Lakeland Shrine Club, the Legion of Honor
Surviving to mourn his loss are his loving wife Gloria (nee DuBois - LaSala) Boyle; one sister Celine (Pat) Gabor of Garfield; five children Kathleen Jurewicz and her husband Mark of Pompton Plains, Maureen Duthie and her husband Wade of Hewitt, John Boyle of Manchester, Timothy Boyle of Bedford,NH, Brian Boyle and his wife Kristen of Allendale; two step sons including William LaSala and his wife Deborah of Wantage and Chris LaSala of Fresno, California; ten grandchildren Megan and Patrick Jurewicz, Kristine Duthie, Timothy, Kennedy, Kevin, Shawn, Cassidy, and Riley Boyle and William J. LaSala,
He was predeceased by two of his children: Patrick E. Boyle in 1972 and Sharon L. Boyle in 2003.
