He was born in Glen Ridge, NJ on March 10, 1934 to the late Joseph Boyle, Jr. and the late Frances Reed Mapes Boyle.

Upon leaving the Air Force he spent his entire working career as a professor at his Alma Mater, now known as the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in Newark teaching freshman Physiology to decades of incoming medical and dental students.

In his retirement years, he became an avid genealogist, tracing his mother's Mapes lineage back to the 1600s. He actively volunteered for many organizations including Indian Guides, Boy Scouts, Jaycees, YMCA, and his beloved church, St. Elizabeth's Episcopal Church in Ridgewood, NJ.
