Fifty-two years ago the Lord brought us together and we promised to take care of each other, and raise the children that we would be blessed with as best we could. They, in turn, received the sacrament of marriage and brought more love into the family. From God, and all this love, came fifteen grandchildren and many, many friends.
Bo, you are a part of this blessing and love and you will be in our hearts, love, prayers, and thoughts forever - as is Jennifer.
Robyn, thank you for a wonderful son-in-law and for being such special parents to Jenna, Ellie, and Robbie. We will be there for you always.
Love,
Mom & Dad

Robyn, Jenna, Ellie and Robbie,

It was a such a privilege for me know Bo.

The first time I met him was in Albany, NY -- just after the B.C. hockey team won the National Championship. He looked as if he was floating off of the ground he was so happy.

I've had many conversations with him at hockey rinks. He was such a nice guy. You should be very proud of him. You were very lucky to have him.

I lost my father, so I think I understand your sorrow. I can tell you from experience that it will get easier with time.

Best wishes,

The Russell-Benoit Family
