Loredon L. Boynes, Sr. was born April 2, 1919 on the island of St. Thomas, Virgin Islands to Alfred and Geraldine Sprauve Boynes . From his father's side of noted seafarers he inherited a love of the sea and from an early age Loredon indicated he, too, would make the sea his calling, in one way or another. As such he came to be a familiar figure, piloting boats on the waterways of the Caribbean: for a deep sea fishing company; for the National Park Service (where he served as Park Ranger); for the Virgin Is lands Government, operating a ferry between St. Tho mas St. John Tortola; and for the renowned Rockefeller family as captain of Laurence Rockefeller's boat, "TI1e Mary." In that capacity he became their trusted captain and friend, joining together in Luth eran church services. His years of sea duty led him to form a ferry service with Victor Sewer in 1964, piloting the "Jolly Roger." That venture persuaded Captain Boynes to form a family-owned corporation which would streamline regularly scheduled ferry service between St. Thomas and St. John. In 1965 that enterprise was born. The formation of Transportation Services led to the pur chase of larger, more dependable vessels the Caribe Sunrise, Caribe Ti.me, Caribe Tide and to the reliable, scheduled service with which we are all familiar. Captain Boynes' career also led to his inclusion in the history of international affairs, involving a con frontation between the United States and Cuba, a dan gerous incident which w~ finally m~goti_ate~ to a peaceful conclusion. It was 111 1973, while piloting the "Nicole Robin" from New Orleans to the Virgin is lands with his son Loredon , James Penn, Roy and Liston Sprauve and a navigator from Mississippi. Navigating a supposed shortcut, they were intercepted in Cuban waters by gunboats and promptly impris o ned in separate cells, unable to communicate. For 18 days they were kept in the dark about their fate; ~ot knowing their delayed arrival had aroused warned families; activated contacts between the Virgin Islands Government, Washington and the U.S. Navy and set ting into motion unceasing communication among them. The imprisonment of American seamen was clearly a hostile act in the strained relations between the United States and Cuba, but the services of Canada, as mediator, finally persuaded Cuba to release the captives. Captain Boynes has inherited other loves besides that of the sea from his multi-talented family: a love of sports and music. From his early days as a student at Bethany School, St. John, he proved to be an athlete, taking part in activities available at that time, including" round dove" (a form of softball), volleyball, basketball and cricket, later joining the St. John team and participating in regional tournaments. As a member of the "West Rover" a cricket team that won may trophies his prow ess as one of its best players was acknowledged; as was his record with the Cruz Bay Softball team, which also earned many awards. With equal fervor he threw himself into music, nur tured by his beloved mother, Geraldine Boynes. He was a member of the Lutheran Choir and participated in Christmas serenades and various chorales. His love of vocalizing expanded to musical instruments, learning to play the banjo and saxophone. Even while at sea he pursued such activities. His deep-sea fishing company took him on regular trips to Anegada where he joined with the band on that island, "jamming'' far into the evenings. His 3 years of service with the U.S. Armed Forces beginning in 1945 saw him and other Virgin Islanders in his battalion form a band. Among its fourteen members was Governor Alexander Farrelly, who played the trumpet. Then of course, there is another love in his life, that of his home and family; father of six, grandfather of thirteen and great-grandfather of eight. Of his six children, five are part of the family business: Noel, Ashley, Loredon, Jr., June and Karen; Bernice resides in Maryland. His children are _quick to note their father never coerced them into working for the busi ness and fondly recall the tremendous love and re spect between them all. Happily married to Margie Brown-Boynes, the couple reside between the Virgin Islands and Phila delphia. As indicated, Captain Boynes is a man of many dimensions, including a sense of appreciation for a life showered with blessings; this includes his grati tude in having the Cruz Bay facility named in his honor. 3

So loved He the world t hat He gave us His Son, Who yielded His life an atonement for sin And opened the Life-gate that all may go in. Chorus Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Let the earth hear His voice! Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Let the people rejoice! Oh come to the Father, through Jesus the Son; And give Him the glory great things He hath done! 0 perfect redemption, the purchase of blood! To every believer the promise of God; The vilest offender who truly believes, That moment from Jesus a pardon receives. Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done, And great our rejoicing thru Jesus the Son; But purer and higher and greater will be Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see. HOW GREAT THOU ART 0 Lord, my God when I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds 5 Thy hands hath made. I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed. Refrain Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, How great Thou art, Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee, How great Thou art! How great Thou art! When through the woods and forest glades I wander And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;

When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze. But when I think that God, his Son not sparing, Sent Him to die, I scarce c an take it in That on the cross my burden gladly bearing He bled and died to take away my sin. When Christ shall come, with shouts of acclamation, And take me home, what joy s hall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration And there proclaim , " M y God, how great Thou art." WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD Will your anchor hold in the storms of life? When the clouds unfold their wings of strife? W h en th e strong tides lift and the ca bles strain, Will yo ur anchors drift or firm remain? Chorus We have an anchor that keeps the soul Steadfast and sure while the billows roll, Fastened to the rock which cannot move, Gro unded firm and deep in the Saviour's love! Will your anchor hold in the straits of fear? When the breakers roar and the reef is near , While the surges rage and the wild wind blows , Not an angry wave shall our bark o' erflow. I KNOW TiiA T MY REDEEMER LNES I know that my Redeemer lives : What a joy the blest assurance gives! He lives, He lives, who once was dead; He lives, my everlasting head! He lives, to bless me with his love; He lives, to plead for me above; He lives, my hungry soul to feed; He lives, to help in time of need . He lives, and grants me daily breath; He lives, and I shall conquer death ; he lives, my mansion to prepare; He _ lives, to bring me safely the . re. He lives, all glory to his Name He lives, my Saviour, still the same; What joy the blest assurance gives: I know that my Redeemer lives. THINE IS THE GLORY Thine is the glory, Risen, conqu ' ring Son; Endless is the victory Thou over death has won! Will your anchor hold in the floods of death , When the waters cold chill your latest breath? On the rising tide you c an never fail, While your anchor hold s within the veil. Will your eyes behold through the morning light , The city of gold, and the harbour bright? Will your anchor safe by the heavenly shore, When life's storms are past for evermore ? WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and grief to bear; What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear; All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer. 6 Angels in bright raiment Rolled the stone away, Kept the folded grave clothes Where thy body lay . Chorus : Thine is the glory, Risen, conqu'ring Son; Endless is the victory Thou o'er death hast won! Lo, Jesus meets thee, Risen from the tomb! Lovingly he greets thee, Scatters fear and gloom; Let his Church with gladness Hymns of triumph sing, For the l,ord now liveth, Death hath lost its sting! No more we doubt thee, Glorious Prince of life; Life is nought without thee; Aid us in our strife; Make us more than conqu'rors , Though thy deathless love; Bring us safe through Jordan To thy home above. Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness ; Take it to the Lord in prayer. Axe we weak and heavy-laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Saviour, still our refuge , Take it to the Lord in prayer . Do thy friends despise , forsake thee ? T ake it to the Lord in prayer ; In His arms He ' ll take and shield th ee Thou wilt find a solace the . re. WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN Sing the wondrous love of Jesus , Sing His mercy and His grace; In the mansions bright and blessed, He'll prepare for us a place .

Refrain When we all get to heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, WHEN PEACE, LIKE ARNER When peace , like a river , attendeth my way ; We' ll sing and shout about the victory. When sorrows , like sea bill o ws , roll ; Whatever my lot , Thou has taught me to sa y, While w e walk the pilgrim pathway , C l o ud s will overspread the sky; "It is well, it is well with my soul ." But when traveling days are over, Chorus : Not a shadow, not a sigh. It is well . . . with my soul , ... And, Lord , haste th e day when our faith s hall be sight. It is well, it is well with my soul . Let us then be true and faithful , Tru s ting, serving every day; My sin oh, the joy Ju s t one glimpse of Him in glory Will the toils of life repay. of this glorious thought The clouds be rolled back as a scroll , The trumpet shall sound , and th e L o rd shall descend; My sin not in part , but the whole , Is nailed to the cross ; Even so, it is well with my soul . Onward to the prize before us! Soo n His beauty we'll behold; Soon the pearly gates will Qpen, We shall tread the streets of gold . and I bear it no more: Praise the Lord , praise the Lord, Oh my soul. Government House Charlotte Amalie , St. Thomas The entire Virgin Islands community has suffered a great loss with the passing of Loredon Boynes, Sr . The Virgin Islands was his home and his love for the people of St . John was evident in his dedi c ation to serve. Captain Boynes was a loyal supporter and a close friend for man y years. His dr e am of o wning the first ferry transportation service between Red Hook and C ruz Bay became a reality in 1964 , when he started Transportation Services, In c . His c ommitment and l oy alty to Virgin Islanders and St. Johnians in particu lar to ensure their fair treatment and rightful benefits is commendable and will be long remembered. I shall miss his friendship . However , I will be s ustained in the knowledge that he has found eternal peace . On behalf of the people of the Virgin Islands, Mrs .

Capitol Building Charlotte Amalie On ~half of my family, my staff, and myself, I would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt condolences to your family on the untimely passing of the man you all hold dear to your heart and an outstanding member of the St. John community, Mr. Loredon Boynes, Sr. While growing up on St. John, I always knew Mr. Boynes to be a happy, hard working individual who had a sp~cial love for the sea. The story of Mr. Boynes' capture in 1973 by the Cubans while travelling by boat from the mainland to the Virgin Islands is a well known story that can attest to his love of the sea. . Mr. Boynes was one of the pioneers of the boating industry in the Virgin Islands and one of the very few black'indigenous business owners on St. John. He has left his legacy behind in the form of the business he beg~ in the 1960s, known to us as Transportation Services, Inc., which is still family owned and oper ated. During the dedication ceremony of the newly con structed Cruz Bay Dock, which is named in his honor, I can clearly remember his famous words, "How Sweet It Is", as he was awarded the plaque naming the dock the Loredon Boynes, Sr. Dock. His contributions to his family, his community, and most of all the boating industry, will be sorely missed. Though we cannot ease the sorrow of the loss of a loved one, we hope that you are all comforted by knowing that others truly care. Senator-At-Large Almando "Rocky" Liburd 20th Legislature of the Virgin Islands Capitol Building Charlotte Amalie Captain Loredon Boynes Sr . , was a man born to succeed in whatever he set his mind to. There was just never any question about that! With his heart and soul he threw himself into his four loves -his love of sports, his love of music, his love of the sea and his love of family. As a young lad he waged dynamic energies in his love of sports, spurring his friends to join teams of volleyball, softball and cricket; and his formidable prowess led his "West Rovers" to become the best cricket team in the Virgin Islands. His bestowed equal fervor on his love of music which proved a joy to others. His melodious voice 8 r~g out in church choirs and at private parties and his love of the banjo and saxophone would not be quelled because there was no one on his home island of St. John to teach the instruments. No matter! He would teach himself! And he did. How eagerly he would seek out fellow musicians on distant shores during his many sea voyages, to "jam" far into the night. A_s for his love of the sea; born into a seafaring family there was always a boat in his life. His superb self-confidence offshore was so palpable he was sought out by such eminent personages as Laurence ~ockefeller to p~ot his private yacht and by the Na tional Park Service. His years of piloting various ves sels led him to gamble on his superb seamanship tal ents to form an interisland ferry service that would forever more open the lines of transportation between the islands, bringing people together and providing services that had heretofore been denied. As for his greatest love that of his home and family: How he cherished them, reveling in the ac complishments of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. While he needed their help in the arduous management of his ferry transportation busi ness he never coerced any to join his enterprise. He felt each was a special unique, individual, entitled to his or her own pursuits. So very much more should be said of Captain Loredon Boynes, Sr. but I sum his life with these words: Cap_tain Loredon Boynes, Sr. made his mark upon his family and upon the world; especially the world of his beloved Virgin Islands which are a better place be cause he passed this way. Senator Lorraine L. Berry 20th Legislature of the Virgin Islands In Tribute ... Although I was privileged to know Captain Loredon Boynes only briefly, the warmth of his spirit made an indelible impact on me. On behalf of the management and staff of the Virgin Islands Port Authority, I convey heartfelt condolences to the Boynes family. Gordon A. Finch Executive Director, Virgin Islands Port Authority

I don't understand it, but I will try to accept it. Please know you will always be remem bered. Love Always, Noel U. Boynes, Jr . To Daddy ... Nobody had a grandfather like I did . He was truly one in a million. The times we spent together communicating, even though at times it was just a simple wave of the hand, will always be my strength to face another day.

' I Our Fam.ily Prayer Heavenly Father, the death of our father, grandfather and great-grandfather has filled our eyes with tears and our hearts with sorrow. We are distrf'ssed by the mysteries of your providence. As your children we want so much to say "Not our will, but thine be done," but at times we find it difficult to do. Forgive us and help us, we pray, to accept your way as always best. Apply to our wounded hearts the healing touch of your precious promises , and let us soon experience its power. Teach us not to mourn as those who have no hope. Wipe away the tears from our eyes that we may be able to see through the mist, beyond death and the grave, to the resurrection and life assured by the glorious victory of our Saviour , Jesus Christ. Amen. ,,aen;/ A ~AYA 4 ta~~ FA/ Ad~ ~AYAM ~Printed by St. Thomas Graphics
