A veteran of the U.S. Air Force, Boyd served his country honorably during the Korean Conflict.

He was a member of the Burt J. Asper American Legion Post 46 and George Washington Lodge #143 F&AM, both in Chambersburg, and his interests included hunting, leather work, travelling to the western states, and gun-collecting.

Surviving is his son, Mike K. Smith (Cindy Myers) of Fayetteville, PA, 2 grandchildren, Lacey Schoenberger of Tacoma, WA and Kane Leedy of Palm Dale, CA; two sisters, Maxine Rotz and Catherine Clark, both of Chambersburg; and a brother, Bill Smith, now living in Kansas.
