Roy Nelson Lollar, affectionately known to family and friends as “Bo,” passed away in the morning hours of April 21, 2016 at the age of 92. A beloved brother, uncle and friend and fixture among the Jasper community, Bo was a shining example of what made the “Greatest Generation” great. He served in the Navy during World War II, fighting in the war’s Pacific Campaign. An Auburn University graduate, Bo felt most at home on his tractor and in more recent years that’s where you would find him. He was happiest plowing his annual garden each year and sharing his harvest with family, friends and neighbors alike.
