Line Equipment/Signals Mourns Telephone Maintainer and father Fitzgerald Boyce, 53

DECEMBER 16—Fitzgerald Boyce, a Telephone Maintainer who worked out of the main shop at 3300 Northern Boulevard, died this morning at home of a heart attack, Vice Chair George Torres said. He was on vacation at the time. Brother Boyce, 53, had just under seven years with NYC Transit.

Torres said that Boyce was severely ill from COVID during the pandemic, and was hospitalized. "We were very glad to see him back at the desk when he came back to work," he said, adding that Boyce "was a big music and photography guy, and a DJ. He was very down-to-earth, and well-liked by the members."

Brother Boyce leaves his wife, Perphenia Tucker-Boyce, and his two sons, Myles, 21, and Kevin, 16, to mourn their father. Arrangements were pending today and we will update this post to reflect them.
