Charles R. Boyd

Charles R. Boyd of Levittown, died on Thursday, October 25, 2012 at Aria Health Care Center, Bucks County Campus. He was 84. Mr. Boyd was an avid farmer in northeast Philadelphia in his younger years. He became an original homeowner and then a longtime resident of Levittown.

He also owned and operated his own small trucking company. Charles lived a life filled with service to his country, his community and his family. Charles was the beloved husband of Marie P. Sousa and the loving father of Rodney C. and Richard C. Boyd. He will also be sadly missed by his grandson Clinton D. Boyd. Services and interment will be held privately at the convenience of his family.
