Mr. Boufford, May you rest in peace. I only met you briefly once at the Hard rock in Hollywood FL. and I am not sure if I ever got to tell you how much I admire your sons, and how I stay so inspired by both of them. They are both great men and stand up guys as I assume you were. May they carry on your legacy and all the greatness you instilled in them, they will always be in my prayers. Wishing many blessings to the entire family.

To my brother-in-law Rusty, my fondest memories from the first time we met was listening to your beautiful voice singing and playing the guitar. There was barely a get together where you did not have guitar in hand, entertaining us all. I also remember being young and watching you and Diana dance the night away - so much fun to watch. Rest in peace and I am sure you´re up in heaven singing away.
To Bronson and Landon, I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that all the good times and cherished memories help you through this difficult time. I remember when you were both young and rambunctious and would drive him crazy, but he would have it no other way. He loved you both so much. Love you both. Xoxox

Hey brother in law. Good memories hanging around you, Danny, and your brother when I was a kid. I remember our fishing trips and the sea sickness, I remember going to work with you and Papo doing carpentry. I remember pulling you over when I was a young cop and how nervous you looked until you saw it was me. I remember you playing with Bronson and Landon and how happy you were I remember a lot. What makes me laugh is when Papo was picking you up for work and seeing you running down the street towards the truck waiving and Palpo driving away. Papo said, Rusty will be on time tomorrow "catch you later"
