Bo, it has been a year, a hard year no doubt and unbelievable that you are gone in body. With so many of us you remain in spirit, I cried when the blue angels flew yesterday soaring towards the heavens I cried for you, I will always keep you in my heart.

I am a member of the San Diego R.B.S.C. Chapter and would like to say that my heart goes out to Bo's family and those who were close to him. In the spirit of those who enjoy riding because of the wonderful feeling we have doing it, our kinship to Bo (Fox) is palpable and we mourn his passing. God Bless.

I guess my first entry here was lost in the internet black hole, so i'll try again. The loss of Bo or "Fox" still hurts everyday. I am a member of the RBSC and we all still deeply miss him, the wind has been taken out of our sails but we're trying to get it back. Our group isn't the same without him. We considered him family and loved him dearly. My thoughts are still with all of you who have suffered this loss with us. I hope you all managed to have a Merry Christmas and please have a safe New Year.
Sincerely,
Ninja

Mr. & Mrs. Birdwell,
Just wanted to let you know that i really miss Bo. He was a great person, and funny too. Always made us laugh, he liked to tease me about the rain, because I was the only one that did'nt come to work the day of the bad storm that really was'nt so bad after all. He did so much round here, he is missed everyday by me. Thank you Jan Sevegney

I knew Bo from work. He was patient with everyone at work. No matter how dumb the questions we asked him were, he never made us feel dumb. He was funny and never gossiped. The office does not feel the same without him. We miss him very much. Our hearts go out to Bo's family.

I consider myself a good friend of Bo's Grand Daddy, who could walk on water according to Bo. He was a pleasent and helpfull young man and even put up with my dumb computer questions. I know he will be sorely missed by Bird and Pat and all those who got to meet him. God bless, Lou Koym

I am Robert’s brother Jerry. When we were young we didn’t get along, but as we became adults we found that we were very much alike. I’m going to miss hanging out with him, hunting with him, and just talking computers or music with him. He was a fun guy, and I will always remember the times he stuck up for me. You will be missed deeply Robert.

Your Brother

I met Bo only once but he made an impression on me. He was a fine young man and will be missed. The thought of why do bad things happen to good people comes to mind.

I remember the first time I seen Bo. he was just a baby and Grandpa's pride and joy, we did not see him often, since we live so far apart, I know he was loved by the whole family and will be missed very much.

I am very sorry for your loss. Robert and I had recently gotten back in touch with each other and it really sounded as if he were in a good place. Scootering seemed to bring him much happiness.

Robert will be missed by many. I still remember the day that I got to meet him. He sure did make an impression. I wish that I could be there for the services but I am due any day now and can not make the trip to Houston. He was looking forward to being an uncle and I am saddened that he wont be able to meet his neice in a few days. My prayers and thoughts are with the rest of the family.

Robert was a wonderful person he always watched out for his friends riding scooters to make sure they were all safe on the HSB. My prayers are with his family and friends.
