Our condolences to you Lavonne. Boomer was my inspiration to learn about computers. He made me sit on a keyboard to prove to me that I would only hurt myself. He was one the great people I worked with. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Thank you Boomer for all the years when I needed you to prepare my equipment, because I have to get that proposal out today! Dave's comment every time; WHY IS EVERYTHING IN THIS DEPARTMENT CRITICAL!! Now that I'm retired I understand what he meant.
If there's a golf course in heaven, I hope it's like Augusta National. GOD just don't give Boomer a late tee time!!
Lavon, I've been out of the country and regret I couldn't be there. Sending my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Boomer was a Smart and FUN guy to be around and he will be greatly missed.
GOD Speed!

My heart hurts for you, Lavon. Dave will be remembered as someone who fixed your problems, when possible, and always made you laugh.

Boomer took me under his wing when I first moved to Jacksonville and was learning how to play golf. He took me to play almost every Saturday for 10 years and I'm forever grateful for his patience and friendship. He was one of the most well liked and respected men I knew. My sincere condolences to Lavon and the rest of Boomer's family. He will be missed by all of us who worked with him at CPI and enjoyed his company playing golf. A great guy...the best of the best.

Will never forget the good times we had back in Ohio in the 70's. Dave's famous Little League pig roast, working for 36 straight hours to install our first 360, arguing over some arcane system problem almost to the point of coming to blows and then going to lunch an hour later. A great guy and good friend.
