Patrick J. Boyle, age 67 of Pompton Lakes, died suddenly on Wednesday, October 30, 2013.
Patrick was born in Paterson and had lived his whole life in Pompton Lakes. He graduated from Pompton Lakes High School with the class of 1966. He briefly worked as a custodian at the high school before becoming a Pompton Lakes police officer. He retired after twenty five years as a detective.
On July 1, 1969, Officer Pat’s first day on the job, he ordered a black & white ice cream soda at a local eatery. The young waitress, Nancy Roscoe, thought he was kidding around and just being funny. She had never heard of such a thing. They struck up a conversation and he taught her how to make it. They became friends, then courted for a couple of years before marrying on May 13, 1972. Nancy was the most important thing to Pat and he loved her dearly. If he wasn’t working, which he most often was, then you could find him fixing up their home or working on a project to make his dear Nancy’s life a little easier. He was always worried about Nancy and his daughter Tracie. He was a wonderful husband and great provider for his family. Pat and Nancy have enjoyed forty two years of a very loving marriage together and she will miss him dearly.
During retirement, Pat and Nancy enjoyed trips to Atlantic City where Pat would play the slots for hours. They would stroll on the boardwalk and along the beach. He simply loved getting away for a few days. He recently mentioned he was wishing to get back to Atlantic City again soon. He was a selfless person, concerned about everyone else to the point of neglecting his own wellbeing, and he was certainly generous to a fault. Even when he could least afford it, he would make his annual donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and to Boys Town. He was always generous of himself and wanting to help others. Countless people, who he has never met, have surely benefited from his kindness and generosity over the years.
Pat is survived by his loving wife Nancy of Pompton Lakes, his daughter Tracie Boyle and her boyfriend David Lawson of Butler, his two sisters; Kathy Franco and Marlene Bardi, his brother John Boyle, his dear sister-in-law; Cheryl Roscoe of Butler, his brother-in-law; Mark Roscoe and his wife Grace of Florida, and four nieces; Danielle Roscoe of Florida, Nicole Roscoe of Butler, Tiffany Roscoe of Butler, and Brittany Roscoe of Florida. He was predeceased by his brother James Boyle many years ago.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Pat’s memory would be greatly appreciated. Please consider the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105 or Boys Town, 200 Flanagan Boulevard, PO Box 8000, Boys Town, NE 68010.
