Sharon MyhreDick Boyle was my best friend’s father. I’ve known him since I was about 12 years old. Always kind, always welcoming. He and his wife Lydia taught me how to play double deck pinochle and cribbage which we played just about every time I went over there! Loved being at their home which was full of love and laughter as well as a slew of relatives coming and going. We swam in the pool, played cards and ate wonderful Italian food. Great memories. He will be missed. RIP Dick
