Uncle Bo,
We will always cherish the many wonderful memories that we shared with such a special uncle. I will keep those memories alive by sharing them with my children. we are so thankful that Nicholas had the chance to attend one of your hunter breakfasts. How proud he was to spend time with some of the mighty hunters in our family. You are greatly missed but will remain in our hearts forever. miss You Love you Uncle Bo.

His love for family and the outdoors was contagious. My dear uncle, you will truely be missed at every family get together....every fishing trip.....every time I step foot afield....every day of our lives.
Aunt Jan, Jess & Pete, Les & Denise, Luke, Janae. Our thoughts and love is with you and the rest of the Family.

There has been a multitude of memories flowing through my mind since my brothers passing. The times he came to aid mom when she needed him to help be my 'nurse'. The many hunting trips,fishing trips,and just the occasional walk to get the 'puppies' out of the house. But some of the best times I can recall were just sitting around with the guys and talking about the memories we already made and the thoughts of our future trips. Butch always had or made time to help anyone that needed him....

I feel words cannot capture how special a person my brother Butch was, though I will use a few. He was always there to watch over us and protect us. He passed on his knowledge and advice to us. He was there to lead us. He was there to give what was needed and wanted nothing in return. He was loving, caring, and compassionate. His warm smile always on display. He was always willing to share his love, his passion, for the outdoors. He taught us to respect the wildlife and the land that we were...

Bo,
its hard for me to put into words what i am feeling. I pray to god everyday for the strength to go on.you are in my thoughts each and every day. I want to thank you for everything you taught me and for all the memories that i will cherish and pass on to my kids and grandkids. you had the patience (or maybe you were just the bravest) to teach me to drive.(or id still be riding my bike). Or the times you would come up to help me chase a bat out of the house (well you did all the...

Uncle Bo is one of a kind. I can not remember a time when I didn't see him smiling. He always had something good to say about everyone and would do anything for his friends and family. There are no words to describe how great of a man he was. I look up to him so much for all the wonderful things he has done and I will always respect him. He could make the impossible possible and he will be missed dearly.

I am writing this good-by note to my brother with the faith that I'll be there soon to join him. Time goes by quickly and we all heal, so they say. At this moment, words are not able to take away the pain I feel every time I think of him. I can't seem to get to sleep at night until I talk with him. This has been very therapeutic for me as I ask him for his strength in dealing with his absence. I know through my faith in the Lord that I WILL see him again and we"ll be as happy as we once were....

Jan and family,
Though I do not know you, I did have the pleasure of meeting your husband/father. He ALWAYS arrived with a smile on his face and time to chat no matter how busy he was. We will miss him delivering to our house and to our schools. God blessed you with a special gift!
Sincere Sympathy

It's hard to put down on paper the sorrow we all feel of losing such a great person like Butch.He was truely one of a kind, to know him was to love him.I will never forget the memories of growing up together and the bowling trips that we all went on.I know God has a plan for us all and this time he took the best we had to offer.I know someday we will all be together again and it will be great to see that smile of yours.I will miss you.Until we meet again .Love your cousin and friend.
