Boyd Lutz- Nova Scotia has lost so many heroes recently.... Ada Pleasant, Art Pope, Elsie Lane, Rita MacNeil, Rocky Jones, Walter Newton and one of the best of the best people on this good Canadian earth... Boyd Lutz...


you know ... how in every community, there's that one family that just inspires....good natured, kind, generous.... the folks that kids and animals love and trust immediately.... because only kids and animals are blessed with God's true innocence and trust and grace  and pure goodness...imho


Boyd Lutz did so much with our Catholic community.... school, town events, fundraisers, suppers, guiding, sports,- he never met a kid he didn't love- and no volunteer job was beneath him- did enough kitchen duty over the years to attest 2 that folks;  scouting, teaching, inspiring....  and dependable as a Canadian Maple and gentle in nature....


It took so long 2 put the words down here 2day... because tears and prayers just cannot fill the void that this great and good man leaves behind.... I remember losing loved ones and his gentle and humble ways of easing our burdens .... always... from kids to grannies.... there was a gentle elegance... as though God was right there holding on 2 us.... and letting us know with confidence that our loved ones are with God waitin on us.....


... Mr. Lutz... I know of no other way 2 honour u.... but thank u for so many of the good memories when I look back over the years.... 2 beloved Florence.... the superstar of Queen Annapolisa when I was with the Kentville Jaycettes with Joy Waterbury, Pam Ells, Judy Bently, Edna (the grls of the Kentville Jaycettes) and all the gang... all the fundraisers, church gatherings, and beloved daughter Kimberly- her Lector readings and pure voice made the Sunday readings beautiful, raw and righteous- and Kimberly always stepped up as Catechist when needed - and her dress shop, Kimberley's Touch of Class, will always only be second only 2 Chase's and the old town ways.... Love u Forence and Kimberly and please know u are so loved.  Hugs and love Boyd Lutz....God's surely got another great warrior from the Province of Nova Scotia. tears and prayers.

... and please know this ... u were truly loved and always will be.... thank God 4 you and the every day folks who ensure everyday people are truly the heart of our communities.  Peace of Christ

“A WELL KNOWN VALLEY BUSINESS MAN HAS PASSED AWAY”

Lutz, Boyd Laverne – age 75 years of Kentville, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on September 4, 2013 at the Valley Regional Hospital. Born in Berwick on November 18, 1937; he was the son of the late Brent and Evelyn (Arnold) Lutz. Boyd worked for Colgate Palmolive before finding his passion in the funeral service industry in 1959. He spent many years working as a licensed funeral director and embalmer and with H.C. Lindsay Funeral Homes and Ambulance Services having chapels in Kentville, Berwick, Wolfville and New Ross. He became business partner in 1970 and sole owner in 1983. There have been many NSCC Kingstec students enrolled in the funeral services program that have benefited from Boyd’s positive, kind and generous nature, while providing practical training and experience to further their own careers in the funeral industry. The dedication and care shown to the families he served was truly genuine and in 2005 he semi retired from the business but remained active within the company. Boyd’s greatest strength was his generosity and his ability to help others through difficult times. His caring and kind heart has touched many people in their time of need. Other than his career, Boyd was actively involved in supporting minor ball and hockey throughout Kings Co. In his younger years, Boyd was an outstanding and well known local Berwick hockey player, earning an invitation to the Montreal Junior Canadiens training camp. Later in life he followed his passions with affiliations to the Montreal Canadiens, Quebec Nordiques, Nova Scotia Voyageurs and the Halifax Citadels. He was co-founder of the Valley Summer Hockey School and owner of the Valley Select Senior Hockey Club. Boyd’s varied interests also included minor baseball, scouting for the New York Mets, and in the early 1990’s becoming co-owner of the Halifax Windjammers franchise of the World Basketball League. Left with fond and loving memories are his dedicated and supporting wife of 53 years, Florence; children Kim Lutz (Harold Fisher), Karen Atwater (Derek) and Kevin Lutz all of Kentville; adored grandchildren Jeremy (Danielle) Neaves, Brett and Brady Atwater, Spencer and Morgan Lutz; brother Otis (JoEllen) Lutz of Welsford; also by several nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his brothers Reg, Cecil and Lorimer. Visitation will take place on Saturday, September 7, 2013 from 7-9pm at the H.C.
