Being only four years older "Uncle Boone" was more a brother and friend than an "Uncle". He was the most giving person I knew. If you needed help he was always first in line and would give you the shirt off his back and his very last dollar. He always had a kind word to say about everyone. He could tell some of the funniest stories and most of the time they were about himself! He dearly loved his family and has left a large hole in this family's heart.
