Re: David Boys, in memoriam
Talked to Worth early this morning- he is pretty shaken up. David was the king of waterfowling in Oregon- I have never known anyone with that kind of passion for anything. One of the most likeable guys you could ever hope to meet and an outstanding sportsman for sure. Oregon's own Eddie Aikau. Dave

I was trying desperatly to find words to type as I read down. I don't think I could say it any better.

Very sad news. I spent many hours in the shop talking to Dave and once asked him to teach me taxidermy. Too much time handling dead stuff and not enough hunting it was his reply. Good advice. He will be missed by all who knew him or admired his work.

No way, I am very sad to hear this shocking news, my prayers go out to his family. He was a class act a great sportsman.

Re: David Boys, in memoriam
I met him at the shows, I saw him on hwy 20 east of Bend during antelope seasons and as said he was a very easy guy to talk to. He is in my thoughts today as well as his family.
It has been metioned by many here of work he has done for members and in memoriam I will share a piece of his work that was done for my father in his memory. He won't be forgotten.

What always amazed me about David was the way he would attack a huge mammal mount with a 2-3 inch penknife. He always said that it wasn't the tool, it was the craft. What an incredible artist.
Our life is so full of David Boys' talent.

I was in shock to hear the news about Dave Boys. I was praying for him already and for his family while he was missing...not knowing that it was Dave who was out there. We have lost a true sportsman and a wonderful gentleman. I will never forget his wonderful smile....and every year when I would see him inside the Artistic booth at the Pacific Northwest Sportsman's Show, he would always say, "Are you Larry or Terry." He seemed to never forget a face. He mounted many big game animals for us. I will be praying for his family as well as the Matheson family.
Dave you will be missed by all of us at Ifish,

Re: David Boys, in memoriam
Went to the house today. The Coast Guard managed to get back the boat (and his hand-carved brant decoys) and they got it home. Marsh rat is MIA, but will probably wash ashore somewhere. Please keep an ear out for it. Everyone is pretty shaken and in shock. We took them a turkey, they had some snack stuff, but only the grandkids will do much eating. Hard to walk through his shop two days after he mounted my grandson's first antlers on a nice plaque, painted them up a bit and said "Tyler doesn't owe me a thing..."
It'll be a day or two before they figure out services, etc...thanks everyone for all of this. I'll print it out and take to them as well...

Re: David Boys, in memoriam
I just heard the news, what a tragedy. Have done alot of business with Dave over the years, and had the privilege to yack with him for 2 hours at the Brothers Antelope Station a couple of years ago with my father. A #1 class act and gentleman:bowdown: . So sorry to hear of the loss.
