I will always remember Bo; he could water ski, do a 360 degree flip with a beer in his hand, and not spill a drop; he was funny, without saying a word; and last, but not least, he was always kind, and never said an unkind word about another person. My deepest condolences to his family and friends, he will be missed.

My sincere condolences to Bo's brother Karl, his wife Nancy and the entire Oreskovich family on your loss. Sadly, I had not seen Bo in recent years. I remember living above the Catawba Inn in October 1983 when I first met Bo. It was Bo and his brother Karl that helped me to get the cottage I still call home today. We became neighbors and friends for many years. I had the pleasure of fishing with Bo and his uncle from Kansas numerous times. The times spent Island hopping and relaxing with a cold one at the "Casino" or "Village Pump", where he introduced me to "Garlic Mussels" and Gary's famous "Milk Shakes". Bo was never a person to let the grass grow under his feet. I, along with so many others will miss Bo, but never forget him.
