Our condolences to all the Family and friends of Boots. He was one of a kind, thank goodness. Finding someone who worked harder than Boots would be very difficult to find. I have many memories of Boots, we worked together for so many years and knowing him while growing up. If I needed him to meet me for work any time of the day or night, he would be there a half hour early waiting. May God bless you and Rest in Peace.
