Great memories of my time working with Bo and his staff at Sharpstown Junior High.
We had many conversations about the Longhorns and Cougars and football in general. Great Coach and friend.
Will miss his spirit and drive.
Rest in peace.

I taught with Bo at Sharpstown Jr. High in the 70's. Bo was a motivator, leader of young men and his staff. A great guy who helped me along as a young teacher.
I extend my condolences to his children who meant the world to him.
