Bo retired from the Naval Reserves and from Hillsborough County Public Schools as a System Analysis. Bo had many, many friends. He was actively involved in the Brandon Lions Club where he received national recognition for his philanthropic work, receiving the Melvin Jones Award. Bo loved the Florida Lions Camp for the Visually Impaired and tirelessly supported the camp for many years. He has been an active member of the Brandon Community and Masons.

His family would like to thank all of his friends, whom Bo loved and considered family, for their outpouring of support during Bo's final days with us. He will be missed.
