I also had the the privilege to not only work next to Bo at BassPro, but to get to know and appreciate him as a coworker and more importantly, as a person. I will remember Bo for his ever present smile, his quick to laugh personality and the thoughtfulness that he showed to everyone. His face would light up when he talked about his family, stories and experiences of growing up, and of course FISHING. When I think of Bo, he will put a smile on MY face. My thoughts and prayers are with
his friends and family

My sympathy and prayers are with you all at this sad time. Dick lived across the street from me, and was very helpful when some boys in a car hit and took out my mail box He saw they told their parent, and redone the mail box and it was back in service. He was a good neighbor and we all hated when they moved. May Dick now rest in peace with our father in Heaven. Roberta (Bobbie) Nelson

I have had the privilege of working across the isle from Bo at Bass Pro in Ladies Apparel for several years. We always had to be on our toes with Bo as he was always coming up behind us and saying "Excuse me miss", then we would turn around and it was "Bo". He would get us every time and loved it. I will truly miss him and his antics. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
