He shared his love and joy with everyone he met. He was a dedicated husband and father to his children, especially his “baby girls.” He was always laughing and joking with them and was always there for them. “Boo” was a loving son and brother, he shared that same love and joy with them as well. His Mother appreciated that love. Not only was “Boo” dedicated to his immediate family but also to his extended family, especially, Mrs. Blunt. He was there every Sunday eating and having fun with his life-long friends. His friends and associates were endless. It’s not hard to describe “Boo.” He was a stout built man that enjoyed wearing jogging suits, and loved sports. His favorite team was The Ohio State Buckeyes.
