BOYD,
Richard
Norman, M.D., F.R.C.S.
(June 5, 1944-March 29, 2008)
It is with overwhelming grief that the family of Doctor Richard
BOYD announces his death at age 63 on Saturday, March 29, 2008
after a heart attack and a stroke. Rick took his last breath
held lovingly by his family and close Friends Doctor Frank
DEMARCO
and Doctor Tom
ELSDON.
Rick deeply loved, and was loved by, his
wife of nearly 40 years, Jane
(JOHNSTON,) and cherished his sons
David Richard and Andrew Macartney. Rick adored his beautiful
'daughters' Kristen
(SKINNER) and Lindsay
(GRAY/GREY.) He was predeceased
by his loving parents Doctor Norman and Barbara
BOYD, and father-in-law
Robert 'Mac'
JOHNSTON. He will be profoundly missed by his mother-in-law
Olive JOHNSTON.
Left to mourn are his sisters Judy
MANNING, Mary
HOPKINS
(Ed
DAVEY) and Heather
MUNRO (Bob,) his aunt Dorothy
SEARLE, brother and sister-in-laws Dick and Jane
JOHNSTON, cousins,
nieces and nephews, and a legion of Friends. He was predeceased
by his loyal Bichon Frises, Bijoux and Beaumont. Doctor
BOYD graduated
from the University Of Western Ontario Medical School in 1968.
He obtained his Specialist Fellowship in Urology from the Royal
College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1976, and has since then
practiced Urological Surgery in Windsor. He previously served
as Chief of Surgery, and was currently head of Urology, at the
Windsor Regional Hospital. He was one of the founders of the
prostate cancer Bracytherapy programme at the Windsor Regional
Cancer Centre. In recent years he has also served the community
as a Provincial Coroner for Essex County. Rick was a member of
the Alpha Kappa Kappa medical fraternity. An athlete, Rick ran
27 marathons around the world with a personal best of 2: 48 in
Chicago. He curled in the Ontario Medical Association bonspiels,
and was an avid golfer and scholar of golf history. He was a
member of the Donald Ross Society. He was currently the very
proud President of Essex Golf and Country Club. Rick was a skilled
clinician and diagnostician, and a gentle man who exhibited great
kindness to his patients. He had twinkling blue eyes, a mischievous
smile and a wonderfully wicked sense of humour. Rick's prize
orchids are especially beautiful this spring. Our family thanks
the medical community, both doctors and nurses, who supported
Rick in area hospitals over the years, and especially Ruth Anne
PIETTE and Staci
LEMIEUX who loyally kept his office organized
in spite of him. We thank the doctors and nurses at Windsor Regional
and Hotel Dieu Grace Hospitals who so valiantly tried to save
him: Doctor Rob
WOODALL, Doctor Anthony
GLANZ, Doctor Hash
PATEL, Doctor Natalie
MALUS and Doctor Balraj
JHAWAR, who over five difficult days demonstrated
extraordinary skill, as well as great compassion and love to
our family. Thank you to Carol
DERBYSHIRE and Steve
BRENNAN from
the Hospice of Windsor; Pat
BEST,
Paula
DEEHAN-
SCHMIDT and Chaplain
Joyce JARDIN from Hotel Dieu Grace Hospital; Kim
VAN
ALLEN and
Bishop Bob
BENNETT from All Saints' Church; and our community
for enveloping our family in love and prayers as we ran with
Rick on his last marathon. Always one to put others first, and
ever the healer, Rick has made four gifts of life. His two corneas
will go to enhance sight, and, ironically the "perfect urologist
kidneys" will give life and hope to two patients. In order to
give back to our community which Rick so loved, we ask that in
lieu of flowers, donations be made to organizations that were
so a part of his life: Hospice of Windsor for care of men with
prostate cancer; All Saints' Anglican Church; Windsor Regional
Hospital for a Cystoscopy suite; Windsor Regional Cancer Centre
for the Prostate Brachytherapy Program; and Essex Golf and Country
Club for a croquet pitch and garden in his name. Visiting will
be held at the Walter D. Kelly Funeral Home and Cremation Centre,
1969 Wyandotte St. E. On Monday and Tuesday from 1-4 p.m. and
5-8 p.m. The Funeral Service will be held at All Saints' Anglican
Church, 330 City Hall Square on Wednesday, April 2, 2008 at 11: 00 a.m.
Cremation to follow. Online condolences and audio messages may
be left at www.mem.com
