Bo was my classmate at Morenci High. Also had the occasion to work with him at Phelps Dodge before he left for New Jersey. A wonderful man with a great personalty. Our “Cool Hand Luke”. His death is a great loss. I will miss him greatly. God’s grace be upon him and his family.

I had the pleasure of knowing Bo, the entire Bruce family, and Vicki in Morenci and all of the time that we spent together was memorable and left me with so many treasured moments that I will never forget. Friends like Bo do not come along often and that is indeed what makes the memories even more of a treasure.
I offer Vicki and all of the extended Bruce family my sympathy and condolences in this time of grief.
