Dearest Bou family, my heart was saddened when I heard the news of the lost of a great man Attorney Edward Bou. Through the years of being his client I learned many valuable lessons as he would always set aside quality time to explain all aspects of the law as it contained to any matter that he was involved in concerning my case. During the many surgeries and therapy I never once to worried about any thing because I knew I had the backing of Attorney Bou's firm. He was gifted with the compassion of applying The legal system as equality for all. I am missing him knowing he's no longer here with us physically however, in my heart I know he has touched many and his legacy will live on as they maintain the standards he illustrated through his compassion for the legal system. Much love Kathy Morgan-Carter

Just heard the news--felt this blow deeply, as Uncle Ed was such a part of our history and of our dad. We were so blessed to visit with him back in 2011 in Leesburg. Please know you are each in the Smiths' thoughts and prayers. Sending you so much love!

A GREAT man, mentor and my FIRST boss! He was my inspiration to study law. I always called on Mr. Bou for friendly and professional advice and he was always available to me and my family. The Law Offices of Edward C. Bou, PC was our family law firm. He was my lawyer, post my tenure as an employee. We had a great "Bou" family back in 1984, when he and Scottie gave me a chance. From their teachings, I have done nothing but excel. I am FOREVER grateful... they both will truly be missed. On behalf of my entire family, our heartfelt condolences to the Bou family on the loss of such a wonderful person! May he forever rest and receive the Peace that we all seek.

To the Bou Family,
Mr. Edward Bou was a common name in our household. He was the Spencer family attorney that we called upon in crisis and/or any other legal situation that needed to be handled. My dad Ernugh Spencer often spoke with Mr. Bou on several legal and personal issues. When I saw Mr. Bou he would say I really like your dad Ernugh he is good man and I have known him for years. Mr. Bou could never pronounce dad name correctly. LOL But, when I walked in his office he knew exactly who I was. He was a very kind and friendly person and I speak for my dad and the rest of the Spencer family. He will truly be missed.
