Michael Boyd

The members of the Badger Stamp Club will miss Mike's smile and his sense of humor. May he rest in peace now. peace now.

My brother from another mother. I can’t imagine our family without you in it. I miss you already. Trisha

Daughter

I was six months old when we moved in next door to the Boyd family, and ten years old when Michael married Nancy. When you’ve known someone your whole life who was always kind to you, it leaves a void that can’t be filled by anyone else. I will miss him dearly. Although he was my brother-in-law, the “in-law” part didn’t seem to fit. He was a brother in every sense of the word. He loved making people laugh and he especially loved to tease. He was the king of the teasers, and his kids were at the top of his list. (Nancy was a close second!) I’ve heard teasing is a form of love, so without a doubt, Michael loved his family. May your gentle soul rest in peace, Michael. I love you!

I know Mike through the Antiques Mall of Madison where I am a cashier and a vendor. Mike's display case had a faithful fan club. His love of and appreciation for coins was infectious. Many people would come regularly to buy stacks of coins from him for their collections. The staff, vendors and customers all loved Mike's humor and friendly smile. My father Floyd Helgesen was a custodian at East High when Mike went there. My deepest sympathies and prayers for Nancy and his children. He was a joy to have at the antique mall. Our antique mall "family" will always fondly remember Mike, as our hearts grieve.
