John William "Bo" Landrum

I just found Bo's obituary after having contacted him unsuccessfully at LinkedIn. I'm so sorry to hear of his death. I worked with him briefly in Washington, and he was always a bright spot in my day. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

There was no brighter light in this troubled world than Bo Landrum. A truly devoted friend, sincere in his every interaction, Bo seemed to glide through hardships that would have brought down a lesser man. A dear soul that will be sorely missed by all, he was dignified in life and stared death down on his own terms. Rest peacefully in God's hand, Bo. You have earned it.

I can hardly find the words to express the love and affection so many of us felt for Bo. During our years together in Washington, Bo was like family. He made every day a better day. Genuine, funny, kind - words that don't do justice to the kind of person he was. Our thoughts and prayers are with you my friend. Much love, Debbie

Marcy and Amy,
Bo lived life to the fullest! I will always treasure the great times we all had in DC! Had no idea he was ill, but pray for the void in your lives will heal as you always celebrate this joyous soul who gave so much to so many!

I worked with Bo almost 30 years ago as young lawyers out of law school. He was the consummate southern gentleman and a wonderful colleague. May his memory be forever a blessing to his family.

My sincere condolences to the Landrum/Towle family, and friends.

Donnie, I am so sorry to hear about Bo. What a dear, sweet man...and always fun! I still have and treasure a lovely note that he sent me years ago. My heart goes out to you and all the family.
Sending you love and prayers,
Janet

"Bo" Landrum was the consummate "Southern Gentleman". Jeni, my wife, and I had the pleasure of meeting him when he was working for the Office of the President of the American Bar Association and I was a new member of the ABA House of Delegates. Jeni and my thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. Hopefully they will find comfort in their many wonderful memories of Bo. His contributions to the organized bar will long be remembered. But that we could all be more...
