I was with his daughter Carolyn (?) when Mr Boswell passed. My husband was in the room next door in the ICU. I entered his room instead of my husband's & met his delightful daughter & got to hold his hand. Her beautiful genuine spirit must be a reflection of a great man. God bless the family at this time & thank you Lord for meeting this BEAUTIFUL lady. May he rest in peace in H.O.G Heaven.

Mr. Lannie was a fine man who was always good to us here at Ironwood Golf Course. He was always willing to help us in any way he could. I was blessed to do business with him. He always had a smile and I looked forward to seeing him every time he came to the course. I look forward to seeing him again in heaven. God bless all of you and may you be comforted with many wonderful memories and the knowledge that Mr. Lannie was a fine example of a good Christian businessman. Carry on in his memory and the example that he set for all of you.
