Gregory A. Boyt ’71

Gregory A. Boyt ’71 passed away August 31, 2021, at his residence in Buxton, Maine. He was born in Nyack, New York, on April 22, 1949, the son of Alexander and Helen Biltz Boyt. Greg grew up in Cohasset, Massachusetts, and graduated from Dartmouth in 1971 with an A.B. in earth sciences/geology. He worked for several years in sales before attending and graduating from Suffolk University Law School. Greg owned and operated for several years Valve Services and Maine-ly Towers, doing paper mill maintenance and shutdowns and fabrication for tuna towers. He then worked as a lobsterman and fisherman out of Pine Point for more than 10 years. For the last 15 years he has worked for the Small Business Association doing disaster relief. Greg enjoyed fishing, gardening, the company of Cindy’s many animals, and his desserts. He especially enjoyed time with all of his friends and the neighborhood kids—they were family to him. Survivors include his companion of 25 years, Cindy; daughter Kristin; sister Susan; nephew and godchild Brian; and sister-in-law Cindy. Greg was predeceased by his parents and brothers Alexander, Stewart, and Andrew. A celebration of life was held on September 9, 2021, in Hollis, Maine. The family requests that donations be made to the Maine Lobsterman’s Association Legal Defense Fund at mainelobstermen.org/projects/legal-defense-fund.
