Not sure what to say?

BJ A dear friend worked with him at post office for many years . Helped deliver Avon to many customers. I miss him very much, kept him up with his favorite, three musketeers bars and dr. peppers. I know I will see him again, until then God Bless you B J. Love You very much.

Debbie & family, So sorry to hear of your loss. May your Dad's many happy memories be your strength. ~Blessings~

Seems, like I worked with B.J. all my life, and he taught me a lot about life, the most important thing he taught me was how much the Lord loved me. I thanked B.J. for that. One of these days I will thank the Lord for putting B.J in my life.

B.J. touched all he came in contact with and left a lasting impression. He led by example and asked for nothing while giving all he could. Without even a question. He will be missed but not forgotten!! The family is in our prayers. Linda, Lisa, Rusty and Ronnie Russell.

Enjoyed working with BJ for many years and appreciated him as a worker and a brother in the Lord. I heard someone say this morning " I never heard him say anything bad about anyone ". I'm sure that many of us could say the same. Rest in peace, B J, and I'll be seeing you again some day!

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

BJ was a person that his family could always be proud to call Dad, Grandad, or any other title that he bear upon the earth. Very personable, a pleasure to be around, good worker and friend, the world has lost a soldier, but Christ Jesus has brought home another friend of His own. I do not know of any who did not like BJ, his laughter was contagious, and his personality a pleasure to be around. This walk we have in life, is one that should be lived in purpose, BJ lived his life and his mission...

It seems that I just spoke with BJ a couple of weeks ago and glad that I did. He was one of the most admired men at work that was a friend to all. Even though we are now sadden by his leaving us behind, I can just imagine the celebration going on in heaven!
