I got here too late. Went to the hospital to see Bo and they wouldn't give us any information, so we went to his house. No one was there and his friend next door wasn't home. I called his sister Norma Sisney.
Bo passed away last night, Feb. 1, 7:35 pm. Another sister, Martha Bartley and her son are in charge. There will be a memorial service later in Texas and they will let us know. Bo died at Hospice of Arizona. If anybody wants to make donations in memory of Bo, consider the American Heart Association and American Cancer Society.

Condolences can be sent to Martha Bartley, 519 Golden Meadow, Duncanville, Tx, 75116

Bo and Weldon are playing marbles again.

God bless both of them.

A cool guy that put on Great shows, you will be missed. Steve

[smitty]

He loved attending shows and so did I, I can't even begin to count how many times we did lunch or dinner together, all over the Country, from New Philly to Las Vegas! He will definitely be missed, and the shows will be a little quieter without him. He always made me laugh! Rest in peace my friend.

a huge loss. You will be missed Bo, our friend.
This picture was taken at Vegas 2009. Bo was not suppose to go anywhere, and he told us both, he wanted to come and that was that.
We will miss our long, long phone conversations. :-(

sad news indeed....

[Al Oregon]

Yup, he will be missed. It was amazing what he could make - those miniatures that he did were great! I enjoyed talking with him at the shows.

That's so sad. Bo had a big heart.

[machinemades]

I am running short on words. He was one of the legendary marble collector that I know. Marble collecting was in his blood. My condolences go to his family and friends. Rest in peace Bo!

I will certainly miss being able to pick up the phone and give Bo a call or have the phone ring and when I answer hear his voice say "Hello this is Bo, how are you and Ms. Judy doing"? I will miss Bo very much. Rest in peace Bo. ----Leroy----

[sissydear]

Thanks for that pic Buddy. I didn't have that one. Edna

Wow...I just talked to Bo a few weeks ago on the phone. Sounded like the same ole' Bo. This is a shock! He loved marbles and always had something nice to say when you showed him one of your nice corks. RIP Bo...

I've gotten so used to Bo recovering, this reality is hard to accept.
Last year was a brutal year for him and earlier this month, like Al said... He sounded so good... Last week, not so good. Finally... After enduring so much... He is finally pain free.
I'm gonna miss him so much.... "The Dirty Dawgs" have lost the leader of the pack.

Since my getting ill, I have not spoken to Bo nearly as much as I would have liked. He was a great friend to Julie and I and we both love him very much. THis is truly one of the saddest days for me. Bo was one of the sweetest guys in marbles....anywhere really. Bo was the first person to ever buy a marble from me. He is going to be very sorely missed.
