Edward Henri Boyer 91, son of Louis and Marie Boyer, brother of Eugene, passed away June 19, 2009, in Tucson, Arizona. Edward was born in San Francisco on March 16, 1918. He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Elinore; his sons, David (Marge) of Arkansas, Richard (Peggy) of Tucson and Edward Jr., of Prescott; 11 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren and sisters-in-law, Adele Boyer and Eileen Coursey. Edward studied electrical engineering at UC Berkeley and worked his entire career in the aerospace industry. He and Elinore served for 15 years as volunteer camp hosts at Denali National Park, AK, and for more than 25 years as volunteers at the House of Yahweh soup kitchen in Lawndale, CA. They lived in Palos Verdes Estates, CA, for the last 45 years and that was truly their home. They had many friends there and were generous and steady neighbors. Ed loved to ride his bike and loved the beach, where he was body surfing well into his 80's. Edward was a kind, tolerant, patient, fair, generous and good man. He was a success by any measure, inlcuding the most important one: family and friends that love, admire and miss him. Donations can be made to the Intercultural Center for the Study of Deserts and Oceans (www.cedointercultural.org). For details on the planned memorial service, call the family at 520-615-7767.
