Dear Karen and Patricia

Your father was a great man. Over the past six years, I would occasionally talk to him on the phone. I wish I would of had one more oppertunity to see him in person.

I will never forget meeting him, when Karen used to babysit me over 25 years ago. I am very sorry and sad for your loss.

Dear Boyle Family,
Words cannot adequately express the sadness which my family and I feel with the death of Pat.

He was such a wonderful man, loyal and true to his family and friends and I feel so fortunate to have known him for five plus years.

When he came to Buffalo, for the many Habib weddings, both Halim and I looked forward to visiting with him and having such wonderful conversations.

Pat was a gentle man in the truest sense of the word, and he will be really missed.

Halim wanted so very much to visit Pat in Chicago but because of his pain, it was impossible. He often said that after his surgery and rehab, he wanted to visit Pat.

They are now together, two very special Papa's, providing us the necessary grace to go on with our lives for the sake of their children and grandchildren.

You have lost a very special husband, father, father-in-law and grandfather and I have lost a friend.

May he rest in eternal peace.
With Love,
Amy Habib

Dear Boyle Family,
I was always a fan of your father. I last saw him maybe four years ago and we talked for an hour+ while waiting for flights out of O'Hare. His favorite topic? All of you. I took so much from that conversation, for your father was such a salt-of-the-earth philosopher....with a heart of gold. (Patricia, you are especially in my thoughts.)

We are so sorry for the loss of Mr. Boyle. He was an incredible man who had such a big heart and always was concerned about others. I enjoyed my many conversations with Mr. Boyle about family and business. He gave such incredible insight on how to balance both. Becky loved the fact he would take her dog for walks when we spent a few days in Chicago as we drove cross country. He will be missed but you all have guardian angel watching over you in heaven.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Love always,
Anthony and Becky

Dear Boyle Family,
We are so sorry about the loss of Mr. Boyle. You are all in our thougts and prayers. Mr. Boyle was such a kind, friendly, giving and loving man who was an excellent storyteller. It meant so much to my dad that Mr. Boyle called him to wish him good luck on his surgery even though he was so sick. It's that selfless attitude that serves as such a great example and will serve him well in heaven. He will live on through all of you and the grandchilden. We know that Mr. Boyle and Mr. H will be catching up in heaven and watching over all of us!
Lots of Love,
Marie and Michael Carroll

My deepest condolences to the Boyle Family. I have been employed by Schulze & Burch for many years and Patrick Boyle was one that always had a smile and hello each time he appeared. I did not know him personally but his first time impression was positive to me. To have a company that stayed in business this long shows he was a great leader. I hope his skills carry on.

My sincerest condolences to the Boyle family. My dad, Joseph Miliauskas, worked for Schulze and Burch for many years until his sudden death in 1988, and I worked there as well during my high school years in the early 1980s. Mr. Boyle was very kind to me, and wanted my initial experiences in the business world to be as positive as possible. When my dad died, Mr. Boyle was present for all of the services, and helped my family with many logistical details. Also, he made sure that my mom, brother and I had full health insurance until we could get on our feet. His generosity made a big difference in a difficult time.

My family knew Mr. Boyle to be a very kind, giving man. I know you all miss him very much.

Sincerely,
Eve Miliauskas
