At random: "I propose to you a new arm of war, as formidable as it is economical. Submarine navigation, which has been sometimes attempted, but as all know without results, owing to want of suitable opportunities, is now a problematical thing no more." - Brutus de Villeroi in a letter to President Lincoln, 1862

COHENOUR, Boyd Wayne, 89, of Westerly, RI and Palm Harbor, FL passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 30, 2017, surrounded in love by his immediate family at his RI home. Born to Clyde and Myrle Cohenour on June 23, 1928, in Liberal, Kansas, Boyd was one of 15 children. The family were corn farmers who survived the great dust bowl of the 1930's, but lost the farm as a result and relocated to Burlington, IA. In 1946, at the age of 17, Boyd joined the US Navy and served his country for 20 years. He was a proud crew member of the USS Nautilus, the world's first nuclear powered submarine, and made the historic and heroic voyage under the polar ice cap in 1958. He and his crewmates were lauded for this epic accomplishment with a grand parade in New York City upon their safe return. His travels with the Navy took him all around the world. Boyd retired from the Navy as Chief Petty Officer in 1966. Boyd's second career was spent as a production supervisor for Chesebrough-Ponds in Clinton, CT. The jobs he loved and excelled at most, however, were husband and father. He married the love of his life, Gloria Ann Davino on May 31, 1953. Their marriage was to last for 64 years, during which they raised three children, Jocelyn, Jody and Jason. Always a supportive father, Boyd became a huge fan of St. Bernard's High School wrestling in the late 70's. Legendary for being the loudest fan in the gym, he was voted #1 fan of the team in 1981. In recent years, he became an ardent and vocal fan of the UCONN Women Huskies Basketball team. Boyd is survived by his wife, Gloria; daughters Jocelyn McElveen and Jody Cohenour; son Jason Cohenour and wife Dana; grandchildren Jack Cohenour, Courtney Hyland and her husband, Matt; sister Leota Kisler and brother Walden Cohenour. A memorial service will be held at the Curlew Hills Memorial Gardens in Palm Harbor, FL at 1:00 PM on Saturday, August 12th. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. www.stjude.org. Published in Norwich Bulletin from July 31 to Aug. 2, 2017
