Vale Kev Boyd
From Martin McIntosh, President of the Marcellin Old Collegians Cricket Club:
Kevin Boyd, former MOCCC Secretary, long serving and outstanding committee member, second XI Captain and club leader died suddenly yesterday. The loss of any member of our community is always felt keenly, the loss of Kevin will be immeasurable.
As an avid and talented golfer, Kevin was also heavily involved at the Greenacres G.C. and successfully ran his own financial services business.
Clearly Kevin was a man who enjoyed being part of a community and ensured that he made valuable and memorable contributions to them wherever possible. All those who knew Kevin, benefited and continue to benefit from the generosity of those contributions.
Thoughts and prayers are with Marie, Bob, Terry, Libby and the kids and all of those close to the Boyd family at this time.
