Bo was a Good Friend, and Brother in-law to my wife and especially myself.We would talk over the phone and would discuss the weather, and different birds that Bo and I would see around our feeders, and the different types of animals that would roam through both our yards. We would tell jokes and laugh, Bo always made you feel at ease, like you had known him your whole life. We would talk about our religious beliefs and that GOD was always watching over our families and us. Bo was very devoted to his beliefs in GOD. He would never miss going to Mass, and what really touched me and my wife is that he would take time out of his life, and go to nursing homes, and give communion, and take time to talk to the people there, and Brighten their day. Bo seemed to Brighten up every ones day when you talked to him.I believe Bo had a gift from GOD for that, because he would make every ones day Brighter, just by talking to you, or making you laugh, and he would always put a smile on every ones face when he would talk to you. Bo will be greatly missed by my wife and myself, and his family and friends, also to the many people that enjoyed talking to him and spending time in his company.Why did the Lord take him, only GOD knows and we will understand it, when we also go before GOD. I believe GOD needed some help, and needed Bo to talk and do things for everyone in Heaven, and to Brighten Heaven up, like he Brightened up every ones life here on earth.We will miss him here on earth, but we will rejoice with him when we get to heaven.
Bo,I think it was a gift of God to be able to know you these past few years. I number you among the most honest and humblest men I have ever had the pleasure to know. I have no doubt that God is mightily pleased with the love you had for Him and all you met and the decency with which you treated everyone. Keep up the good work in Heaven and I`ll see you again one of these days. Until then, Vaya con Dios. Your pal, Dennis
