Bo was my favorite student that I trained for the P2S5 plant operation for FMC.

Over time, he became the teacher. I am saddedened to hear of his death and Barbara Willits as well.

As friends, I loved them both.

I was a classmate of "Bo" and Carolyn. I just remember their awesome smiles and infectious smile. We were never real close friends, still I feel like a little part of me is gone. My condolences to the family. Larry Johnson

I hadn't seen Bo for awhile, but will always remember our friendship at LHS. He was a gentleman and all-around good guy. The memories of basketball at the Community Building are special.

May he rest in peace.
