Dear Westlakes,

We are very sorry to hear about losing Bo. He was a remarkable man.

Our thoughts and prayers have been with you this past week.

I (Peter) will always remember their generosity in 1991, opening up their home to me. Bo & Marlene allowed me to stay at their condo that summer while they were at their cottage. The last time I saw Bo, we recalled that summer where I didn't know how to tie a tie, so he pre-tied them for me, and I could just slip them over my head. He even went as far as giving me one of his very own.

More recently, my family made the trek to their magical cottage eight consecutive summers, and we greatly appreciate their openness to share this special place with extended family.

Our sincere condolences.
