Brendan Jason "B.J." Bates

brendan, b.j. bates, longtime friend since junior high . One of the nicest guys i've ever known. i remember coming over to the house back in high school and bj always joked about making my nice vw an off road car, that was funny. watching him work on the race car and not knowing what the heck he was doing just getting dirty. our families have known each other for many years and i'm so grateful to have known bj and his family.dad, mom , brother kenny, uncle jeff and aunt rosie always spoke so...

I will never forget you. You always knew how to make me smile and when all of us back in the day would get together we all had a great time. We will miss you dearly and you will always be remembered.Thank You for Being you
