Dear Ruth and family,
I was so sorry to hear of Boe’s passing. Although I haven’t seen Boe since our high school days,I have wonderful memories of those days and I can still see his smile and hear his laugh. He was truly a great guy. He will be missed, but Heaven has gained a wonderful angel. Monte and I will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

Ruth and family,
Boe was one of my favorite uncle’s! We always had great times especially at Christmas. I will miss the ways he made me laugh! “Have confidence in your name and where you come from.” A quote he once said and a reason I live strong so many miles away!
Ruth and family,
Very sorry for your loss and you will be in my thoughts and prayers!
Ruth and Family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I always told Boe since we grew up across the street from each other that he was another brother to me. I am so glad that I got to visit with him this summer when I was home. I have a lifetime of memories with Boe and our class of Union Hi 65 which I will always cherish. My love and prayers are with you all. JeanieConnorMason Newnan,Ga.30265
