Ben Francis Boyd

West Point, 1946

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by LTC R. Spieldoch, USA-Ret. on August 16, 2005:

Ben was the epitome of the ideal Army officer. I served under him in Taiwan MAAG in 1962. Ben was a dedicated man to his duty, family and friends. He possessed an inspirational style of dealing with people and difficult situations. Pleasant, tactful and courteous to all, he was a pleasure to work and serve with. Ben always gave the utmost of his time and himself to official matters and community service. He and Elli were loved and respected by all. He will be missed.
