I will always remeber your smiling face the true embodiment of Camelot's Pellinor! Even just a few short years ago your Joy was impossible to extinguish by life's trials.

BJ you go before us, and I know I will see you again on that bright morning when all tears are wiped away and we are once again in the court of the King.

Thanks B.J. for your kindness and for sharing your talent and enthusiasm with us. You were always so supportive of your fellow actors no matter our age.

I will always remember the shows we did at Starlight and NAT.
