George “Bruce” Boyle, age 80, of Canton, passed away at home on March 2, 2023 after a two month illness.

He was born on May 2, 1942, in Alliance, to father, Vernon Boyle and mother, Ruth (Wagner) Boyle.

Growing up, Bruce attended Beloit Elementary and graduated from Sebring McKinley High School in 1960. After he graduated, he served four years in the United States Navy as a Machinists Mate 2nd class aboard the USS Radford DD/DDE 446, a Fletcher-class destroyer.
