To the Family of "BJ the DJ"
One of his many hats he wore, he will be missed and I will always remember the great job he did at my daughter's going away to the Army party at the CWA union hall in 2000. I will also remember the fun at the CANABAR and a few other places, VFW, pool shooting, him and my brother Mike going at it, etc. He can say hi to Mr. Ben Winfrey when he gets to heaven. I will keep the family in prayer, sorry for your loss.

What a "GREAT GUY"!!! He will truly be missed by his many friends. BJ often times was a "no mess" kind of guy and would let you know it and I loved him for that. "Straight up BJ" surely didn't take no MESS and would let you know it. Lots of Love, to my Friend
