REST IN PEACE
BOYLE, Eugene F. "Gene" Born December 8, 1931, in Cambridge, MA, passed peacefully on Saturday morning, July 22, 2023, in Lake Forrest, CA. Born to James J. and Mary Boyle, an only child with strong familial relationships with his mother's side of the family, he entered the seminary and was ordained a Roman Catholic priest in 1958. Gene left the priesthood in 1975, remained in the Faith, and married his loving wife, Donna Flaherty; and later had their only son, Jimmy. Gene attained his master's in Guidance Counseling from Boston College, and worked at Natick High School as a Special Needs guidance counselor focusing on drop-out prevention until his retirement in 1995. He was a gentle, warm, and inviting person and leaves a lasting impression on many individuals that came into his life.
