Uncle’s Memories

All 8 lbs, 15 and ¾ oz. of BO came bounding into this world April Fool’s day of 1987. BO walked at 9 months and never stopped.

When Bo was 18 mo. old, he and mom and dad moved to Wimbledon, England.

When all the family and friends came to see the sights of London, BO was their tour guide, as he was able to point out every clock in Windsor Castle plus his friend Big Ben.

While in London Bo became such an avid Lego enthusiast that DAD had to super-glue his pieces together to keep him safe. When Bo arrived back in the States, his new baby sister Danielle arrived.

He spent the next three years happily playing Ninja Turtles, Legos and pretend with Dylan Moulton. Bo attended his first days of school and played on his first baseball, soccer and basketball teams.

However the winds of change began to blow and soon Bo’s life was redefined forever… He became his mom’s and sister, Danielle’s anchor.

The next two years would find him as part of a new family definition. Life now had the thrill of having three new sisters and two brothers. His new family would be living in Richboro.

This would prove to be the greatest adventure of his lifetime and where he would excel @ most anything he put his mind to.

He numbered among his accomplishments several soccer and Baseball championships, jazz bands, presidential physical fitness awards, math awards and consistently high academic achievements.

But found that as he grew through the end of elementary and junior high school his true loves in life were gaming, magic cards, paintball and football. Bo relished the challenge of being able to out think his opponents. Like his friends, BO spent endless hours perfecting his play of Doom, Diablo, Warcraft, Counter Strike and Halo.

He used these same skills last fall when Bo was able to go deer hunting in Colorado with his Grandpa Peper who watched as Bo patiently lined up his single shot for a 100 yard kill.

His high school years are a weave of friends, activities and friends. Proms, dances, football and lacrosse. He made the varsity football team his sophomore year. During his junior year he scored a 1560 on the PSAT’s and followed it this past spring with a 1500 on the SAT’s which he was planning to better in hopes of getting a car for that perfect 1600.

BO also enjoyed snowboarding, skiing, on-line gaming and a lot of TV…the DAVE Chappell Show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Family Guy, Sea Lab and of course late night snacking.

Bo appreciated nothing more than his mom’s “Scooby Snacks” which was evident when he and 4 of his friends polished off 6 ½ pounds of London Broil which had been prepared for the family’s weekend meal.

Bo was an avid reader of Sci-Fi, Philosophy, War Tactics.

His favorite movies: Memento, The Fight Club and Road to Perdition.

This summer Bo made a full recovery from surgery and returned to the Lacrosse field and lifting. He made applications to the military academies, but his mom seemed to think he spent most of his time playing TEXAS Hold’EM. Often playing with friends well into the wee, wee hours of the morning. He would play with his younger brother Gordon’s friends – FLEECING them and then returning his winnings and telling them they needed to practice.

In August he took a wonderful trip West with the Freeman Family, returning two days before school was scheduled to start. His mom jumped through hoops of fire to see that Bo would be able to attend Council Rock South and to fulfill his dream of playing football his senior year.

Last Saturday’s games of football on the beach with friends was one of the very best days of his life……… and he knew it.

Bo you have been NOBLE and GREAT
You are LOVED
You will be MISSED
