  Boyce, Reverend David    
   
   
  Reverend David Boyce went to his heavenly home on Tuesday, August 19, 2008. The 
  Rev. Boyce was 86 years old, and lived at Kindred Place in Annville, Pa. Born 
  in Santiago, Chile, to Clarence and Martha Boyce, David was raised in 
  Minnesota. He served in the U.S. Army during World War II, where he met his 
  beloved wife, Birdie (Margaret) Lee, while both were stationed at Fort 
  Indiantown Gap. After the war, he attended and graduated from Western Reserve 
  University in Cleveland, Ohio. He also served during the Korean War before 
  working at Columbia University as the assistant registrar. He had degrees from 
  New Brunswick and New York theological seminaries, and was an emeritus pastor 
  in the Reformed Church in America. During his 30 some year career, he pastored 
  churches in Somerville, N.J., and Glenmont, N.Y., before retiring from the 
  historic Newtown Reformed Church in Elmhurst, Queens, New York. His last 
  pastorate had Korean, Taiwanese, and Indian congregations worshiping in the 
  landmark building, in addition to the original congregants. In 1988, David and 
  Birdie retired to Palmyra, Pa., and became volunteers at Good Samaritan 
  Hospital in Lebanon and Hershey Medical Center, and visitors for the Trinity 
  UCC in Palmyra, Pa. They moved into Kindred Place in Annville, Pa., where they 
  led bible study for several years, before finally retiring from active 
  volunteering. In addition to his wife of 63 years, the Rev. Boyce will be 
  sorely missed by four daughters, Jan (Bill) Townsend of Oxford, Pa., Marti 
  (Greg) Spear of Harrisburg, Pa., Kate (Ken) Sampson of Springfield, Va., and 
  Sabrina (Fen) Chen of San Jose, California; six grandchildren, Jill, Michael, 
  Megan, Jennifer, Theresa, and Daniel; and one greatgrandson, Brendan. David and 
  Birdie were vigilant prayer warriors, praying daily for family, countless 
  friends and concerns during their daily devotional times. David enjoyed writing 
  letters, reading poetry, camping, and his many "grand-dogs." Although no longer 
  able to volunteer, David faithfully supported many ministries. Services will be 
  held on Monday, August 25, at 11 a.m. at the Kreamer Funeral Home, 618 East 
  Main St., Annville, PA 17003. Interment will be at Indiantown Gap National 
  Cemetery, Annville, with full military honors. There will be a viewing from 
  9:30 a.m.-11 a.m. at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, donations may be 
  made in David's memory to Kindred Place, 1 Kindred Place, Annville, PA 17003; 
  the Reformed Church of Newtown, 8515 Broadway, Elmhurst, NY 11373; or the 
  Kauffman United Methodist Church, 380 Kauffman Road, Annville, PA 17003.
