Ernest Ripley Boyd, 80, of Novato, died unexpectedly on Thursday at home.

Boyd was a native of Winnipeg, Canada, and had lived in San Francisco from the early 1920s until moving to Marin three months ago.

Boyd was a semi-retired industrial engineer.

He was a member of the American Association of Retired Persons, California Chapter No. 1 of the National Association of Power Engineers and National Geographic Society. He was a past member of the Olympic Club of San Francisco.

He is survived by his wife, Pauline Carroll Boyd; three adopted children, Joseph Carroll Boyd of San Francisco, Patricia Carroll Fulmer of Phoenix and Donna Carroll Boyd of Novato; six grandchildren; and one great-granddaughter.

At his request, no services were held. His ashes were scattered at sea.

His family asked that memorial gifts go to the Heart Fund or a favorite charity.
