I am shocked to read of BJ's death in the on-line obits which I check every day in the Quad City Times. He was a good man and I enjoyed knowing him. He had a deep faith which guided him in this life, and has now led him to the next and final life, with God at the table in heaven.



Best wishes to all the family. Where is Philip Sterk these days?
