Obituary of Michael Boyle

Michael Boyle passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at home on Sunday, December 24, 2006.

During his posting in Germany, he met his beloved second wife, Rina (died April 2005). Michael was very active over the past 20 years in lay ministry at the Sacred Heart Church. He served on the Parish Council and Building Committee, and additionally as a Eucharistic minister and lector.

Michael’s deep commitment to his wife during her final illness, his religious devotion and his passion for classical music sustained him in recent years.
