Earl W. Boyce Jr.

Nottingham – Earl W. Boyce Jr., 75, of Nottingham, passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 26, 2026. He was born May 20, 1950 in Lynnfield, MA a son of the late Earl W. and Mary (Wells) Boyce. Raised in Lynn, MA he graduated from Lynn Classical High School with the Class of 69. In 1983 he moved to Stratham, NH where he resided for the next 20 years before building his dream home and moving to Nottingham. Earl began his career as a carpenter during the initial construction of the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant. Through study and training he became certified as a Millwright and throughout his career worked in electrical, nuclear and coal power plants throughout the northeast and even for a period of time.in Fukushima Japan. The millwright is responsible for the moving, dismantling, maintenance and recalibration of massive pieces of industrial equipment. Earl loved this work, the crews of men over which he was foreman, and even the long 13 hour days that were required during plant shutdowns. He had found his true calling in life and there was no other career he would have wished for. Outside of work Earl’s passions were fishing and motorcycling. Whether reeling in an 800 pound tuna from a boat off of Plum Island or 2 pound trout from a stream in New Hampshire he found joy on the water with a fishing pole in his hand. He acquired his first Harley Davidson at age 18 and was never without one for the rest of his life. Whether riding with friends or alone along the country backroads of New Hampshire he was happiest as he would say “with his knees in the breeze”. He was a proud and beloved member of the Journeyman, a fraternal brotherhood of motorcycle-riding tradesmen. Earl is survived by his wife of 55 years, Kathleen (Hill) Boyce of Nottingham, NH; son, Jason Boyce of Newmarket, NH; siblings, Don Boyce and his wife Cathy of Salisbury, MA, Suzanne Quinn and her husband William of Topsfield, MA and Randy Boyce and his wife Nancy of Lynn, MA; grandchildren, Phoenix and Rowan and their mother Rebecca Boyce all of Nottingham; niece and nephews, Tara, Ryan, Justin and Wyatt, and many grand nieces and nephews.
