Although he went by Bo, wasn't his official name Mark as well or am I misremembering?
Yeah, Bo was the only one out of the Pelini and Stoops Youngstown gang whose backyard football nickname stuck with him.

Very sad to hear about the younger Mark.

This hits home. Mark’s girlfriend died in the crash as well. She was a math teacher at my sons’ school. They, along with the others kids in the school system, are pretty shaken up from this tragedy. Also, one of my coworkers has a son who plays for Cardinal Mooney high school and his position coach was Mark. Prayers to all the families involved.

Really sad to hear this. Some of the former teammates sending condolences were also friends with Sam Foltz.

Mark... its like we all watched you grow. Now, you leave us lesser. Everyone has taken a loss... I hope you're in a better place.

It's a cliche I know, but every death reminds you of how precious life is and those of us living should be very grateful. I'm constantly reminded of this as I research my Family Tree and learn about all the people in the past who died young.

Prayers for the families and friends, for strength and for the memories that create smilies and even joyful tears of them. Very sad.
