Bobo as we knew him was a terrific guy and always fun to be with. After Jordan High school we somewhat went different ways. Bobo, KC and Paul all went Army, I went Air Force. Bobo, Paul and I met up in Germany. After that we went our separate ways. No Bobo in California I ended up in Tennessee and I think KC and Paul stayed in Utah. I last spoke to Bobo after Mark passed. I have fond memories of our long summers. RIP Bobo.

Mike, I have such fond memories of your entire family. My brother, Fred, and I spent many carefree childhood days with Mark and BoBo and the other kids up and down the block. I have wonderful memories of you and Joyce and Smokey and Brownie! Your Mom and Dad were my "second" parents. I miss you all.

We worked together for a short time at the SLC ARTCC as Air Traffic Controllers in the early 1970´s. Bo was fun loving, do or try most anything kept things in perspective and very enjoyable to be around. He talked about his hangout The Willows in Sandy always was upbeat never angry. Lost track in later years but for sure a good person. RIP Bo nice to have known you.
