Oh the memories I have with you bootsy, I could probably write a book but one of the stories that always gets told over and over again would be the chicken story that ended with us being shot in a cornfeild by an old farmer thinking we were stealing his pigs. I will forever cherish the videos and pictures that I have. You truely were a great friend and I will miss you dearly but knowning I have you as a guardian angel now warms my heart. Our adventures are not over bootsy til we meet again may you RIP. My prayers are with his family durning this difficult time may you find comfort in knowing his suffering is over and he is flying high with his parents watching over each and everyone of us <3 love you bootsy

Love you and will miss you!

I am heartbroken over "Bootsie's" passing. I've known him for many years, and he was one of my "Kids" when I lived in Iowa. My deepest condolences to Kelly, Laurie , Cindy and the rest of his family. He is no longer suffering, and that is what we need to hold on to. He is now a guardian angel watching over all of us.
