Patrolman Boyd was shot and killed when he interrupted two men burglarizing a grocery store. Patrolman Boyd engaged the two men in a shootout but his service weapon jammed. He was mortally wounded by the suspects' gunfire.

Both men were arrested and sent to prison. One was paroled December 6, 1936. On September 3, 1937, he was killed in a gun battle with police in Clark County, Ohio, in which Patrolman Martin P. Randolph of the Springfield, Ohio, Police Department and Chief Deputy Sheriff Edward Furry, of the Clark County Sheriff's Office, Ohio, were also killed.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 87 anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. You will always be honored and revered.

It is most distressing to know that your murderer was paroled after serving a woefully inadequate sentence and then was responsibile for the death of two other law enfocement officers after he was paroled.
Rest In Peace
