My dad and Bo have been good friends for a very long time. I remember the parties at Soups, celebration day, and the end of the season picnics at South Park. He was a wonderful man. Full of life and spirit and knew how to "act simple". These past weeks were very hard for Soup he will miss Bo. We will all miss Bo. His spirt will live on for many many years. Rest in peace Bo.

I feel like Bo was a 2nd dad to me growing up, between coaching me @ softball and even bowling and the endless days and nights I spent @ the Chermak household. To the whole Chermak family, my deepest sympathies. He will be missed.

Shelby, Linda, Scott, and family,
I have been blessed to have known such a wonderful man. He was a coach, a peer and a father like figure to me. I had the opportunity to share many memories with Bo. He always had his goofy ways, always getting us to laugh. I believe that is what he lived for. He would do anything just to see you smile, even if it was doing things out of the ordianry. He loved his family very much and would do anything for them. He cheered his children on with their sports, he pushed them to reach their goals, and he embraced thier dreams. I know that his character will always live through them. Its hard to whatch the ones you love hurt, I know, I have done it. Its not always easy to say goodbye, so dont. Everytime you laugh, know he is laughing with you. Everytime you start to cry, wipe it away with a smile. When you feel your ready to fall remember that he is behind you waiting to pick you up. The people he has touched, the memories he has made, the love he has shared, ..thats what his life was about. I thank you Bo for all of those laughs, and good times, and all the guidance you gave. I will remember you NOT for how you left us but for what you gave us and NOT for how you died but for how you lived...
Love you guys,
Kelly ~xo xo
