Alden C. “Denny” Boynton Jr.

WEST GARDINER – In the early morning hours of Sept. 14, 2021, our father, Alden C. “Denny” Boynton, Jr., slipped away after a battle with cancer.He was a smart, mechanically inclined man who could fix just about everything. He had a shared passion with fellow “leftie” and son-in-law Mike for anything with wheels and an engine. They formed a connection over trucks, tractors, and cars – most notable of which was a maroon 1967 Corvette with a 427 under the hood and a speeding ticket in the glovebox; a car long ago sold when a growing family called for something a little more practical. In his younger years, our father was also quite artistic and had a knack for tennis, two talents now enjoyed by grandson, Jed. We are forever grateful to Mike for caring for and assisting our father through the end-of-life process. We would also like to thank the nurses and aides of MaineGeneral Hospice – particularly Nichole for her compassion and kindness. There will be no services, just a message for all: Find the good.Wendy & JamieArrangements are entrusted with Staples Funeral Home and Cremation Care, 53 Brunswick Avenue, Gardiner, Maine.
