I can never forget him as our Birthdays are the same, 1 Aug 1940. A couple of times we sang "Happy Birthday to Us!" His main running mate as I recall was "Dick Stull"

Deepest condolences to the entire Buis family. Bo was a good man and a good friend. At the family reunions I very much enjoyed hearing his stories about his drag racing days and talking about his other passion, the Indianapolis Colts. Bo always had a smile and a great laugh that I’ll never forget. Rest in peace Bo; we love you and you will never be forgotten.

When I started at Chrysler, Bo was one of the first friends that I made. We worked together for four years. He had a great Triumph Motorcycle. He had a great laugh and was a good man! My condolences to Steve and the family. May Bo rest in God’s peace!

Many of us Drag Racers from IRP remember Bucky and Bo's racing days. He was a Southside legend. R.I.P. prayers for all of you.

Vickie Jim Jackie RB Kathy and family and friends of Bo. I am saddened by Bo’s passing I met him and other Buis family members while I was bartending at Smith and Dale. Your family is one of the nicest group of people I became friends with. Although I haven’t seen you guys I will always remember your kindness and laughs we shared. Take care and thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Family has always been so important to me! Bo shared this value and that could be seen by the way he went out of his way to show it! From visits to a cousin waiting tables in a restaurant to supporting one playing music rallying everyone to be at a family reunion so we could spend time together and catch up! Bo was one of a kind and I am so grateful he was my family! He will be greatly missed by us all ! Our loss but Heavens gain! Thankful for the promise of Eternity! Until then ❤
