Not sure what to say?

Bo was a wonderful kind person, never showed anger, loved his pets and the best kid tormentor. He always had a joke to tell. He was smartest man I knew. If we were stumbling during a conversation, on a name or place or the time , Mary would call out Bo and ask. He was our family google.
Jeopardy would have been a breeze ,who wants to be a millionaire he would have been.
I will miss him answering the land line and yelling it's your sister.
"The talkative one".
