Sincere sympathy to the entire Bobo family. I met Chester in the mid 90's when some of his family were members of West Durham Baptist Church. Some years later he was a caring neighbor to one of my dear friends when he lived in Woodcroft.For the past two years we had wonderful conversations by phone on her progress as a result of a stroke. He was an amazing individual; with the health issues he was dealing with, he was genuinely concerned about others. Rest in peace my dear friend; you fought a good fight and kept the faith. Praying for the family in the difficult days ahead. RIP Shirley T. Cole
Rest in peace my brother !
RIP my brother you were a faithful friend and Hornet we will miss you.
