BJ, You taught me how to drive a truck but most of all, you taught a farm boy the street. You were my BEST friend growing up. I will miss you my friend. So sad to hear this, Paul Rose

Rest inPeace BJ I'll always hold a special place for you in my heart since you were the man that gave me away on my wedding day. I'm thankful for your friendship and especially what you meant to my mom and dad, Robert and Beatrice Flammia whom you'll be reunited with once again as you journey home. Time and life may have distanced us but not our memories of what you meant to our family.
