RIP Boyd.

When we were out at the GNRS, Gabe the upholstery shop that Boyd uses had a booth set up. I asked one of the sons if Boyd was going to have another season on TV? He got a funny look on his face and said they were in talks with the network. Maybe he knew something and didn't say cause from what I have read he had been in and out of the hospital since the holidays.
