BJ had a laid back style that made him so approachable. He was always willing to help make ideas work - all you had to do was communicate. He was fond of sharing camp and all the history he knew. Thanks BJ for touching so many lives. Hugs and thoughts to your family.

Sometimes it seems like we grew up together every summer at camp. Whether it was luggage trips when I was a CIT and then staff, or work parties, troop encampments, special events and other camp functions throughout the years. Your dreams were big, your heart even bigger and you touched the lives of so many. Thank you for all the love you gave and the memories left to share.

Every time I saw you, it felt like no time had passed at all since our last conversation. I have so many wonderful memories of you and the magical camp we worked at together. Tell Lady "hi" for me -- she's waited a long time to see you again -- you are forever in my heart,

My friend, you touched the lives of thousands of Girl Scouts with your kindness and humor. You were caretaker to more than camp for some of us. You took care of our home and our heart. For that I deeply thank you.
