Carolyn and kids, I am so saddened by this, but incredibly thankful for Beaufort's friendship and kindly support for my entire professional life. His wisdom, coaching and wonderful joking workplace banter are a lasting and joyful memory. All my love and gratitude to you, too, Carolyn: my mentor, role model and pal!

My deepest condolences. For my MPH, I had Dr. Longest's class in 1993. As an immigrant, his class was my introduction to how the U.S. government works, and cemented my admiration for such a great system. I remember him and his lectures fondly.

David and I are so sorry to hear this news! Boochie grew up with David in the same neighborhood and I was a classmate and friend of both Carolyn and Boochie! We both thought so much of them! Will pray for my friend Carolyn and all her family!

Carolyn & Family, So very sorry to hear of your loss of Boochie. A great guy. Hope you are comforted by prayers from friends & family. Jack & Janet Cottle

Carolyn and family so sorry to hear of your loss. We were in high school together and he was always a kind and nice classmate.

Carolyn and her young men, some folks are supposed to last forever. Boochie is one of those persons. We grew up together from first grade. My memories are many, but my sense of his personality was his mischievous humor and laughter at his own jokes. He was a good man and a good friend. I shall miss knowing he is around. I hold you all in my heart. Evelyn

It is with great sadness I read about this great loss! He and my sister, Pat Blanton Brown, graduated. Although a few years older, he was a genuine friend & a really good friend to many in Rose Hill. The whole family was held in high regard! Our deepest condolences to each! Pete & Betty Blanton
