Bo was a great guy who always had a smile for friends. It was always amazing the amount of facts and information he could just spout off the top of his head during conversations. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I will remember the wonderful times when as a young girl I adopted my 3 Oneal cousins as brothers I didn't have. They would light up that little house in Norview with their welcomed visits. We would play till dark and Marty always won the prize for getting the dirtiest. He loved those Tonka trucks. Seeing him grow up with his passion for reading and his love for history would have you looking in amazement how he could remember all that Always trying to figure life out. If we wonder about Mart's life wonder no more. This was God's plan. Mart loved his Mom & Dad and was then their strength. A mutual relationship.
I can hear him now as he is saying goodbye, "I love you Cuz! I love you too Marty. You are now at peace with your Heavenly Father!
Bonnie Pettruny, (Cuz Bon)
