Not sure what to say?

I have worked with BJ over the last 3 years in the development of a solar project on his property. BJ was always very professional and courteous in our interactions. It is very sad to hear of his passing. Rest in peace.

*Change of address: Heaven. "Jennifer, this is BJ Zsigmond". I have helped Mr. Zsigmond through insuring his home and properties for the last 8 years. I cannot convey the pleasure it was for him to call my name and speak with me either in person or on the phone. He was such a special person and I feel blessed to call him friend as well. He shared a lot about the "love of his life". Heaven gained a beautiful soul. I feel honored to have met him and he will be missed. Prayers for this...

Rest In Peace Mr. Z. One of the best men we ever have known

Oh my goodness, I don't know what to say. BJ will be missed by us so badly! I for one loved to talk to him and joke with him about all kinds of things. Dorothy I know you miss him terribly. He was such a kind sould and loved to laugh! Heaven has truly gained an angel. Rest in Peace my friend!! With much love and sadness. Dixie Love Bug

I met Mr. Zsigmond through the Real Estate world and always enjoyed him coming into our office. He had wonderful stories to share and was so very pleasant! He spoke at length about his childhood Vizsla and I would tell him all about mine - we agreed they are the best dogs ever! I am saddened by his loss and will keep his family in my prayers. I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet this remarkable man!

BJ was quite a unique person and always the complete gentleman. We had some nice conversations and many of them revolved around food. With his guidance I attempted to make Hungarian dishes that he would approve of. Hot Hungarian paprika has a special place in my heart because of him. He was loved so much as a friend and neighbor.
