I was told Steve Greene remained in close touch with Bo during the past few years as Bo’s health declined. Payton Townsend was calling Bo at the Nursing Home facility 3-4 times a week. Their relationships were special just as was their careers back in Blackham.

Years ago, I worked with Payton Townsend for a short time. Really nice guy. Payton would tell me stories about his time playing basketball with the Cajuns. Being a huge fan, I listened intensely to his stories of that era and his relationship with Bo. They faced a lot of hardships and prejudice back then but overcame it. It was a special time in UL basketball history as Bo was obviously a special player but remained a humble man.

Payton is one of the finest guys I know.

May God bless Bo as he shoots up the heavenly courts! We have been blessed with awesome players and fans over the years. Hopeful that we are on a road back to the good ole days. BTW - I am excited about our future in so many ways!
