Dear Michiyo,  Jane and I were so sorry to hear the news about Bo's passing.  I always looked forward to seeing him at all the PATA meetings and hear him talk about Finair, "Finland's largest airline"!  He was always a joy and always had a positive attitude.  We will miss him.  All the best to you.  You will be in our thoughts during this time of grief.

I am so sorry to just hear about Bo's passing.  He will be sincerely missed.  It was always a pleasure to have dinner with Bo before the Monday night South Norwalk Boat Club meetings.  He was one of the most interesting people I have ever met. It was a pleasure and honor to know him. Please accept my sincere condolences.

To our neighbor --
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your husband!  We were looking forward to seeing you during the Spring. Our 2 year old, William, met you on Halloween (little Elmo) and you both were so sweet to him.  We will be thinking of you.

Bo embodied scarce qualities in today's world: a true gentleman, a man of his word, always with good cheer, and of admirable intelligence and wit. It has been my privilege, as well as that of my co-workers, to have been friends with Bo and Mi for the past 20 years or so. Rest well, my good friend. Yours was a life well lived, and we the poorer with your passing. Bill G

Dear Michiyo
Bo was the positive person we needed on the Finlandia Foundation Board and his contributions with humor were always appreciated.
We will always remember him and you from those times.

Dear Mi, We are very sorry to hear about Bo's passing.  He was a kind person.  Reggie & I will always remember the advice he gave us while boating on Long Island Sound, "Always keep to the right." With deepest sympathy, Pam & Reggie

Bo taught me much about business and particularly sales.  He exuded confidence as a spokesman for Finnair and Finland.  I will always remember him for his charm, sense of humor, and devastating wit.  He was a salesman's salesman with an objective and strategic mind for securing the business.  I will keep his memory with me as I pursue sales, Bo's forte.
