Dad will be missed more than anyone could imagine, he was an absolute Steller father and an amazing, funny yet very serious when Needed. I will always appreciate his religious beliefs and difficult solutions to problems answered by the word of God! Love you Dad 

So sorry to hear of Bo's passing.   I'll miss going to his barber shop.
My deepest  and most sincere condolences to his family and may the soul of your husband, father and grandfather rest in peace.

Bo was my barber for about 25 years and I never received a bad haircut.   He was always pleasant and loved his regular customers. RIP Bo. 

My Dad started taking me to Bo’s probably before my first memory in early elementary school. As I grew older I remember watching Wheel of Fortune and sports games while waiting for and getting a haircut. As result I took my boys and daughter to get gets cuts over the years. 

When I got older I received Bo’s compassion first hand. There were a few times I couldn’t pay for a cut and he told me not to worry and catch him next time. In return I paid extra on other cuts to Give back to the kindness I received. 

Bo loved his family and talked them up when he had the opportunity. 

May God bless his family in this time of loss by providing comfort and healing.  

I just wanted to say I had known Bo clear back when we used to play guitars in his shop. A very pleasant man. I will miss him and the stories we used to tell each other when he was cutting my hair. Gods speed Bo, Joe Keefer.

Buford, you were my last living brother, the one closest to my age.  There were six of us, spanning 22 years.  We all loved each other and shared a special bond.   You were my “big brother” in school and protective.  You had such a confident, calm, and sweet spirit!  Your sense of humor was infectious.  You provided for your family proudly and loved them sincerely.   As you and I said so many times when parting, love you, brother, and see you later!

Uncle Boots always had a way of lifting everyone. He always had a kind word to say each and every time I saw him. He was such a bright light in this world and I had so much respect for him for the love of his family and complete dedication to taking care of them and how he made others feel. Anyone who knew him, loved him. Continued prayers for his sweet family. We will see him again in heaven. 

In 1997 I started taking my 3 year old son for his haircuts to Bo. My son called him Bell Palmer as he couldn't say Bo for some reason. Even 24 years later, we still referred to him that way! Bo also cut my late father in law, Gene's, hair for years and years until his passing in 2009. I spent many hours at the barber shop with my son. We will always remember Bo with fondness and happy memories!!!! To the family, may his memories be a blessing to you!!!

I first met BO in 1993 when I was only 12 my parents took me to get my hair cut . Ever since I was little till until I moved he was the only person who I would let cut my hair.  Mr .Palmer an I would always talk about my police ride alongs and he would always ask about my parents. I will greatly miss him he was always be my favorite barber. 

Uncle Bo was such a sweet man .
A loving father to my cousins ,Darrell and Melody .
He took care of his wife she never needed anything. He was always the peace maker . Uncle Bo we will all miss you . Prayers for his family in this sad time . We love all of you ,Keith , Angie, Trent and Brett Coble 

 I am thankful to have had such a great Papa. I will always remember the wonderful times of us fishing together and the stories he would tell. 

Papa will be deeply missed. I am so thankful for the times we went fishing and all the memories we’ve shared. 

You were the best dad a daughter could ever hope for. I know you are in heaven so I will not say goodbye. I love you, daddy. I will hold on to the memories until I see you again. 

My thoughts & prayers are with Mr.Bo's family! He was definitely one in a million. We have shared so many stories over the years! I have never met anyone that didn't have a kind word about Mr.Bo. I patronized his barber shop since 1980! In this day of many different hairstyles,I remain committed to Mr.Bo for close to 40 years. Never had to tell him anything---he knew exactly what needed to be done! Nate,Mr.Bo always spoke well of you & he was very proud of what you have accomplished. Brad,he said you were the BEST son in law anyone could ask for! Melody,you were always there for your Father & he told me so many times! Rest in Peace Mr.Bo & when you meet your maker,HE will say to you: WELL DONE thy good & faithful servant!!! God Bless

Bo knows Haircuts! I went to Bo,s since 1987. Last time 3 weeks ago. Took my 2 boys there as kids. Both my father and my uncle went to Bo. We always talked about the days of packed Sat mornings visiting with everybody. I will surely miss Bo!

Bo was an amazing person. I've been getting my haircuts frorm him for over 20yrs. He will be missed. RIP good friend.

I've been going to Mr. Bo to get my haircut for almost 35 years. I took my 2 boys to him from a very young age and they continued to see him until they went into the military.  We always had great conversations and he always asked how the boys were doing. I will miss him but I know I will see him again in heaven. Blessings and the Lord's peace be upon the family. 

I am just so so sorry about Mr.Bo, he was such awesome and caring guy, RIP Mr.Bo🙏
