Joey spoke highly of this man (his father) Boh, and truly admired him to the fullest. God created this man to have a big heart and to be of good character. I'm sure he's saying, "Not to worry, job well done my son." He will be missed, but I know he's in a better place.

Patsy, Boh was always encouraging to me. Whenever I saw him coming in to William Henry Middle School, I knew that I was going to have a wonderful day. He did an excellent job with the Gentlemen's Club at the school. He would always call me once or twice a week to talk about basketball. I will surely miss him. My heart is deeply sadden.

Bo was a friend from my early days in Lanham Maryland. We lived in the same community, went to the same high school, played lots of basketball. Reconnected with him a few years back.So sorry to hear he is gone. My wife and family extend our deepest sympathy to your family in this time of sorrow. I will always remember the man who helped so many to smile and enjoy life.

Bo will be missed! I worked with him and he was a true friend. We had some great times joking about our boss, Mr. Keifer, and all the times we chatted on the phone.
Bo was a great teacher, who instinctively knew what his students needed and worked hard every day meeting it.
I will miss him dearly. My condolences to Patsy and family.
