He was married to the love of his life, Nora, for almost 48 years. Bo was a loving and devoted husband. He enjoyed spending time with his family at his home on the lake and especially enjoyed taking them out in his boat to ski, tube, and swim. Bo was perfectly content to fish or play golf any day of the week. Those who knew him well, knew that he was a quiet man with a wonderful sense of humor. He could always make anyone laugh with random jokes. Bo spent more than half of his life working in the life insurance business, making many great friends along the way. Even after he retired, Bo missed his people so much, he went back to work. His family would often tease him that he waited a long time to retire just to retire from being retired. He was deeply loved and will be truly missed by all who knew him.
