Earl Gene Boyd

Earl G. Boyd, 73, of Circleville, passed away Thursday, September 4, 2014 at his residence. He was born December 23, 1940 in Urbancrest, the son of William McKinley and Lecretia Mae (Puckett) Boyd. He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Betty Helen, Frances, Daisy, Mary Ann, Ruth and Norma; and brothers, William, Harold, Glen, Roy and Ralph.

Earl will be deeply missed by his many nieces and nephews who knew him as “Buck” or “Bucky”, including special nephews Joey Robison and Gary Everetts; and his many friends and co-workers at PICCA.

Earl worked for PICCA for more than 26 years and had also delivered the Circleville Herald for many years. He was a huge OSU fan and would go through the PICCA building on Fridays to make sure everyone had their OSU shirts on. His co-workers were accustomed to Earl calling them by the pet name “Floppy”. Earl looked forward to watching Gunsmoke each day after work and also watching the WWE.

Funeral service will be held at 1:00 P.M. Monday, September 8, 2014 at Defenbaugh-Wise-Schoedinger Funeral Home with Chaplain Jim Ferrell officiating. Burial will be in Forest Cemetery. Friends may call from 11:00 A.M. Monday until the time of service at the funeral home.

The family requests all attending to wear OSU attire in Earl’s memory.
