Bo was such a unique and interesting fellow. Always witty and worldy. His columns were never boring - filled with his own way of seeing the world around him. We are very sorry for your loss.

Sorry to here the lose of Bo. Knew Bo from the day we shared at the Hong Kong in Martinsville. We were both big Uva fans. My condolences to the family.

Just read the sad news on the Martinsville Bulletin website. I was lucky enough to work with Bo for a short time. He always kept me laughing and I always looked forward to his columns. My condolences to his family; you are in my prayers.

Bo was a talented writer and a great wit. I still chuckle when I recall some of his one-liners, from Cathedral High School through his years at the Catholic Virginian and the T-D. My condolences to his children, and to Mary and Carolyn.

Bo was a special, talented friend and co-worker. It was my priviledge to have worked with for years at The Martinsville Bulletin. To his children, I send my love and prayers. --Shirley Martin, 412 Vincent Store Rd., Charlotte C.H., VA 23923
