I had known. Bo so many years ago, we had a lot of fun kidding around. The fun I had at Donna's house with her family is a special time in my life. Her family welcomed me like one of their own and I felt like Bo was a brother I never had. He will be missed but he is content, happy and visiting with his Dad. God bless your family at this time. Sorry I will not be able to attend his funeral to see all of you we are out of town. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time.
May you rest in peace, Uncle Bobo.
Ron and I worked together at MK-Ferguson Company a long time ago. We were asked to redesign a critical process slurry line and we recieved a letter of recognition from the client. I thought you would like to have a copy of this letter for your family. Take Care and God Bless, Roger Lombardo
Thank you Roger, we appreciate this memory of our loved one very much, my brother will be missed greatly. Kerry Walsh
