Read MoreI have many happy memories of Mr. Boatright. He was my Algebra I and II teacher in Cedar Hill. I still tell my children stories about his class. He inspired me to do my best and I will always be grateful to him for that. I am very sorry for the loss your family has suffered at his passing. I will keep you all in my prayers.

My sympathies to Mr. Boatright's family. I'm sure he will be missed. I haven't seen him since High School Algebra in the 70s but I have never forgotten him. He's been one of the most memorable characters of my life.

What a great musician, and what a great man he was. His music and his life influenced so many people. I will always have the utmost respect for Mr Bobby Boatright.. He made our lives happier, and made us better people, for having known him.

Bobby was the professional's professional. He was the same man among common folks as he was among entertainment's stars. He always treated everyone with respect and common courtesy. He added the right touch to the annual Bob Wills Tribute in Mountain View, Arkansas. Bobby was a hero of mine yesterday, is today and will be all of my tomorrows.

Losing a great friend such as Bobby leaves an emptyness one can't describe. He first worked a new years job with us about 25 years ago. Bobby was the greatist. Any time I needed him, he was there. We will keep you in our prayers and hope it helps to ease the pain. We will miss him, too. --Henry & Doris
