Early this morning I received a call from my daughter that her Dad, Jesse Aaron Boyd, Jr., passed away in his sleep. He was a graduate of St. Aloysius High School in the Class of 1952. We were married for 14 years and had five children together; four daughters and a son that passed away with lung disease 19 hours after birth. This picture was taken while we were dating. He was 86 years old, never remarried and was a devout Catholic. He will be missed by the whole family. Rest in peace, Jesse.
