RECOGNITION: A resolution adopted in the Georgia Senate honoring the life and memory of former Cobb County Chairman Mike Boyce was presented to his widow, Judy Boyce, at the beginning on the Cobb County Board of Commissioners meeting on Tuesday.
State Sens. Kay Kirkpatrick, R-east Cobb, and Michael "Doc" Rhett, D-Marietta, took turns reading the resolution.
Boyce died Jan. 26 after suffering two strokes. He was 72.
“He was dedicated to bringing his community together,” Rhett said. “Col. Boyce was known to handle controversy with grace and diplomacy, insisting on holding multiple town hall meetings with residents face to face when tough issues arose.”
Standing in front of the commission dais, Judy Boyce expressed her thanks.
Among those who joined in the presentation were Michael Murphy, who served as Boyce's special projects assistant; Boyce's administrative assistant Millie Rogers, and Deane Bonner, president emeritus of the Cobb NAACP.
