John was born on January 1st, 1941, to John F Boyle Sr. and Josephine Donahue in Paterson, NJ. After graduating from Central High School in Paterson, he enlisted in the US Army from 1960 to 1962 serving at Fort Hood, Texas and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.

From 1969-1975, John was the owner of Johnny's Taxi on Lakeside Avenue in Pompton Lakes, NJ. It was a true family business employing his wife Joan, mother Josephine, sister Kathy, brother Jimmy and his wife Ginger Hinchman and Ginger's father Fred.

In the early 1990's John and his family moved to Security, CO near his sister Marlene, working for Apple Computer and as a civilian at Fort Carson, CO. He loved the Colorado climate but missed the east coast. He eventually came back east, moving to Delaware working for MBNA.
