My heartfelt condolences to the Boyle family. To Mrs. Boyle, John Jr, Peter and Tim, For me, John Boyle Sr was a true character and personality, something rare and often missed. Particularly to you Tim, I will always have great memories of your Dad in full swing in the auction room, and at Swans on those famous Thursday evenings in the late 80s.
