Tribute to Jim Boyle
Tribute to Jim Boyle.
Everyone at LAPWD, were so saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Jim Boyle.
We acknowledge the contributions that Jim made to LAWPD and its activities, over many years, supporting people with physical and sensory disabilities.
Jim was a dedicated volunteer, who along with his good friend Paul Beck, brought many of our members on trips around Lough Rynn on the Wheelyboat.
You could always count on Jim to help whenever and wherever he was needed,
Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with Jims’s wife Eileen, also a great supported of LAPWD, his brothers Charlie and John, sisters, Mary, Ann ,Jean and all the extended Boyle and Mahon Families.
