He attended Capitol Hill High School until 1959, when he joined the United States Army. He was stationed in Germany and honorably discharged. Bo was a highly-skilled carpenter who could, by the use of his hands, transform a simple piece of wood into whatever he envisioned in his mind. Bo also owned a motorcycle shop and an RV and mobile home remodeling business. Bo met the love his life, Elizabeth Ann "Liz" White, while pursuing another of his interests, square dancing. Bo and Liz were married from 1980 through 2008, when she preceded him in death.
