My heart is truly broken since I have learned of Bo's death! Bo always treated me like a son and I looked up to him like a mentor! He never changed the way he treated me even after my divorce and for that I considered him a TRUE friend. I can only hope to measure up the the man that Bo was.
I pray that I may live to fish.......
Until my dying day.
And when it comes to my last cast,
I then most humbly pray:
When in the Lord's great landing net
And peacefully asleep
That in His mercy I be judged
Big enough to keep.
May you always have tight lines and screaming reels my fishing friend....
God Bless you all!

Kathy and family,
I can not tell you how much I have cared about Bo, his jokes and little sneaky laugh and how much I am going to miss him. He was full of life, full of love for his family, never said anything bad about anyone. Bo had so much energy and love of life. I pray for you, and your family to have strength in the coming days. I know you have so many memories, and I hope they will sustain you in the coming days.
Love, Inez
