Freestyle Dance Party

R.I.P. Bo Griffin “The Party Animal”

As I was checking out Twitter this morning, I noticed a very brief tweet from Tolga:

R.I.P. Bo Griffin “The Party Animal”

I was immediately shocked and saddened.  How could she be gone?  She wasn’t that old.  What happened?  Well, you can read that story at one of the links below.

• Bo Griffin, former South Florida radio host, dead at 51
• Bo Griffin dies at 51
• SC’s Bo Griffin, Boutique Owner, Radio Personality Dead

However, I’d like to share my personal experiences of Bo “The Party Animal” Griffin, and I hope you will do the same by leaving a comment below.

I remember the first time I heard Bo Griffin on the radio.  I had recently started listening to freestyle music on Power 96 in Miami, and she was introduced for the 6pm time slot.  I hadn’t heard of Bo Griffin before, but I was intrigued.

Her voice was nothing like I had ever heard, but what was more infectious was her seemingly endless supply of energy.  She seemed (and was) so kind to everybody she talked to on the radio.  I even called a few times and spoke to her.  She made me feel special. 

I also met Bo Griffin a couple times, and her personality off the radio was just as warm and inviting as it was on the radio. 

When I first heard she was moving to the morning drive, I had mixed feelings.  However, they subsided very quickly.  She and Mindy Frumkes put on a wonderful show.  Bo was always awesome.

I knew Bo had been on television, but I never watched those shows.  Every once in a while, I searched for her online to see what she was doing.  From her boutique to the game show, Bo always seemed to attract love and support.

Bo Griffin is gone too soon.  She was a significant part of my freestyle experience, and it is sad to see her leave this earth so early.
