BJ,
I will always remember you with that great big smile on your face and hanging around at the Jackson house in ER. May you rest in peace.

Soo saddened by your sudden departure...you were a great Husband, Marine, and friend. You will be deeply missed and never forgotten. Rest in Peace.

BJ,
Thanks for the many, many laughs during our Faust and Becton years. Thinking of your impersonation of my Mom's heavily accented English still makes me laugh to this day. More importantly, I remember you as a person who never short-changed yourself. Your no-nonsense attitude and fairness to others did not go unnoticed. Even though I had not seen you in over 14 years, it's needless to say that it was not surprising to see you as a Gunnery Sergeant of Marines. And as evidenced by the numerous heartfelt responses of your fellow Marines, you have left an indelible mark on our Nation's finest in a time when we most needed it. Your tremendous legacy will live on in the lives you have touched.
I wish Diana and your family all the strength and support to get through this difficult time.
Rest in Peace, BJ.

You have certainly made a tremendous impact on our lives as individuals and as a family. We have been so blessed to have had you and Diana as such huge parts of us for so long. We have so many memories to share with Jake and Savanna as they get older. So many late nights playing cards, road trips to WV and NY as well as countless fishing trips. We have always enjoyed your friendship and companionship, thank you! Memories are forever, you will always be with us and Diana will always be Jakes Diana. God bless and Semper Fi!

I still cannot believe you are gone, since I hadn't seen you in so long it kinda just feels like you arent around cause you're busy with work or your family. I really wish that was the case.
I am greatful that we were able to reconnect and catch up over the past year and that I got to know your lovely wife. I am so happy that she made you so happy and that you have done so well in your career, though I would expect nothing less. I will think about you often and remember you always. You will be so greatly missed by me but will live on in all of our hearts and memories.
My deepest sympathy goes out to Diana, your parents, sisters, family, Marines and friends.
Thank you for being my friend.
Diana
June 19, 2010
To My Husband, My Hun, My Baby, My Fuzzybear,
I Love You. I will always love you. I know I am the person I am today because of you. You humbled me, taught me patience and tolerance and most of all kindness and generosity. We fought with each other, laughed with one another, poked one another, loved each other and lived life to the fullest together.
We worked so very well together. Our lives intertwining when needed yet room enough to still have unique individuality. We were strong enough to stand on our own, but still dependent and completely supportive of one another.
I am thankful for every moment we were able to share and will cherish every memory. I will never forget and forever miss the way you smiled, how you looked at me, the sound of your voice, the feel of your touch, your smell after a long day at work, your shoulder I leaned on for comfort, your confidence in me and your ability to always assure me everything would be okay.
I will never say good-bye because you will be forever with me.
Your loving wife & princess

The first time I met you, you showed me “your” baby picture. Your sense of humor and obvious love for Diana won me and the family over in a matter of moments. You were an honorable Marine, a husband and a comedian. You became family…you fixed our cars, went on family outings and even learned Mahjong. I could not have asked for a better partner for Diana. You always made me proud to be your sister in law, even when you played the joke on me.
I remember all of the “next times”. The next time you would beat me at monopoly, the next time you would stay longer on visit, the next time you would fix something. There are too many “next times” in life. I know it’s an odd thing to say, but thank you…I now know that there might now always be a next time and I will do my best to eliminate that phrase from my vocabulary.
Your commitment to laughter, loyalty and honor will always be remembered.

Rest in Peace BJ. My deepest sympathy goes out to your Family. I have fond memories of you in Elementary School, always making me laugh. Although it has been years since we spoke you will live on with the stories we will share about you. Thank you for serving and protecting us ~ until we meet again.

Rob,
America has lost one of her greatest sons, The Marine Corps has lost one of it's greatest Staff NCO's, Motor T has lost one of it's greatest tools, Many of us have lost the greatest friend, and the Ocean Breeze has lost it's greatest poker player. A friend, peer, mentor and hero. You will be missed.

RIP B.J. I will always remember the sweet and funny boy you were and I am grateful for this past year to have gotten to know the wonderful man you turned into. You always made me laugh past and present. I will always think of Foods class in H.S and all the memories and in present day I will remember listening to your stories of overseas, poker games, and antics. I only wish we could have caught up more in California. My sympathies to your wife & your family, who like so many will miss you.

To my friend and fellow Marine, Rob... I will never forget you. When we were Sgt's we often traded supplies and vehicles in Camp Pendleton. I could always count on you when I needed a fork lift, and you could always count on me when you needed a HMMWV. We always had something to talk about after Monday Night Raw. We rose through the ranks together and always knew that a friend was just a phone call away. Semper Fi my friend!!!!

Favorite BJ moment: After singing my rendition of "Hey Big Spender" on a windowsill at an Italian hotel (as I normally do) I jumped onto one of the beds and it collapsed and the leg broke. Like a true hero BJ and someone I don't remember swapped another bed from another room. Super Stealth like. and no one ever found out. RIP BJ. Make sure they let me in when I get there.

It was just the other day it seems I chatted with you on facebook. I will forever remember you and our great times with the MEU and the tuk tuk rides. You taught me a thing or two about being a Marine and my own job. I am forever grateful. The Corps and world has lost a phenomenal person. You will be dearly missed, take care and rest easy my friend.

Brother, you will be missed in the Marines and in life. Very few times does someone come around that impacts your life in a very short time the way you and Diana have. You were a true friend and you will be missed. Just be careful playing poker up in heaven I don't know how well they will take to you trying to BLUFF every pot your in. I think they call that lying so be careful and let the big guy win once and a while. Semper Fi and Go Bless.

Rob...thank you for being a good friend. I will always remember you from our time on the BHR. You kept me company while searching bookstores throughout Singapore looking for Patricia Cornwell novels, and you fixed my autoclaves, just like Jared and Sean said you would. You are a true friend, and I will see you on the other side

I remember when Robert was driving a bunch of us to a family member's wedding when he began a speech about where your side-view mirrors should be pointing and why... "I don't need to know where I am, I know where I am, I want to know where they are". To this day I remember his words of wisdom every time I have to adjust my side-view mirrors. Thanks for the advice, Robert - you will be missed.

Gunny, you were always a friend to all, assured others were taken care of before you to include family, Marines, and even a lone Sailor now and then. I will always remember the day you came in my office at Folsom after you tried to catch that cat. Yes, we all had a laugh, but felt your pain as much as we saw it. We will always remember the good times and never forget a true friend to all that we have lost way to early. Miss you ... DOC

All the support, encouragement & compassion you have given me got me through some pretty intense moments! Even when you would just accidentally "bump" into me on your way in/out of the grill would brighten my day! You have no idea how much you have touched me. You will be missed by many! Your legacy will live on. Not only through Diana & your family, but also through your friends and Marines that you have touched. Rest In Peace. God has one of the best Marine's guarding Heavens Gate!!! Semper Fi!!!

Gunny I remember the moment You picked up Gunnery Sergeant, you were the happiest I had ever seen you... I just hope you're taking that happiness with you and leaving some behind for others to remember you by. You were always there for me even though I might of not been the stellar marine I was supposed to be you made an impact on my life by showing me that tough love in the shop for 2 years straight. I'll never forget all those MTM bbq's in OKI and long hours at the shop...you will truly be missed and my deepest sympathy goes out to your family...RIP Gunny.

BJ, I’ll never forget the day I met Brenda in the video
store by old Genovese & A&P and she told me you became a United State
Marine…the pride she showed when she spoke those words, pride a sister can
truly understand! Then meeting your mom in Boro Hall a few years later and the sparkle in her eyes as she talked about you and your bride in California!
Thank you so much for raising your hand for your country. I’m
sure it’s a guarantee that you received a hero’s welcome when you went “home”.
My funny BJ memory-Two words: Teddy Grahams lol you know what I mean lol that and forced air+eyes+classroom floor=Mr. Traiger yelling at you lol …you were a true gift, thank you for being you….not good-bye, instead,we’ll see you later.

I was so saddened to learn of your passing. I remember you as such a nice, funny, young teenager on our trip to Italy. You really made the trip a lot of fun despite all the things that were going wrong. I wish I had seen you in recent years to see the man you had become, but looking at your wall it was evident that you became the best, a U.S. Marine. I will miss you my friend. I hope your family and friends get over the shock of your passing in time. Rest in Peace!

BJ - you kept Rocco and I in stitches the entire time we were in Italy! We absolutely loved you and we will miss you!

I've known BJ before he was born and was so excited to see 'who' those little people were in his Mom's belly. BJ brought joy to me his whole life - just following him as he lived life to the fullest. I'm closer to Brenda because BJ was always 'doing, going, coming from' etc. Facebook allowed me to follow him and Diana ...these past few years and I've always been so proud of him and Brenda. You are in God's hands now and will be missed.

Rest in peace BJ. I will always remember the sweet and funny boy you were and I am glad to have had this past year to get to know the man you turned in to. You always made me laugh past and present and i enjoyed talking to you when you were overseas about your experiences, poker games, antics, etc. I wish i would have gotten together with you sooner since you came back to California...lesson to all, don't wait to long or the time may never come. So sad and such a loss. My condolences to your family and loved ones.

You graduated HPB and you were always my favorite. We went through Italy together in '94 and you made us laugh every day and every night. We didn't sleep much but who really cared. You brought everything that life should be with you all the time. You knew how to have fun and you taught everyone around you the same. We... got on a plane to Cali and were blessed to see you married to Diana. You came home to NJ and thought enough of us to come and visit. We love you as parents love their child. I'm crying now. I will miss you. Rest dear son, rest in peace.

My beautiful boy, my fun-loving student, our Italy "guide" and card-shark, my friend, BJ. I cannot accept this, I just can't. I can see you in my class, you and Ty and John. I remember all the long distance calls from California when you would talk for hours about Diana and how much you loved her and you were going to ...marry her. It would be 9pm in California and 12midnight here but I never minded because it was so good to hear your voice. BJ I have been blessed to know you as a student and Alan and I have been forever blessed to know you as a strong friend. God bless you!

BJ & I were friends so many years ago and although the years have passed, I always remember him making me laugh. He was always the guy to make anyone smile and was always nice to everyone, even if it wasn't "cool" to be nice to them! He had a heart of gold. I don't know if he ever knew how many people's lives he touched throughout the years. I am blessed to have known him!
Marilyn Elia

I knew BJ from the day he was born. Although I moved away, I would visit Jersey often and always stopped by the Hudnall House. BJ was seldom there because he was out, going someplace, doing something with friends, or on his way home from some adventure. Always on the move. Through the years I have been following him through his Mom and lately, Facebook. BJ has made such a lasting impression on all who crossed his path. He will live on in our hearts forever. I am blessed to have known him.

I grew up in East Rutherford and was a grade ahead of BJ. I had a lot of classes with him in HS and we shared a lot of laughs- especially 3rd period Physics! My husband played football with him as well and remembers him being such "a good kid". He was so much fun to be around. I am so happy that I had the chance to reconnect with him via Facebook.We want to express our sincerest condolences to you Diana and to the rest of his family. He will be missed!

You don't remember me, but I remember when you and Brenda used to come into the library in East Rutherford when I was working in the children's room. I guess you guys were in about 4th or 5th grade. You were both so adorable and nice, and you had a fantastic smile. Your face has been etched in my memory ever since, and when I heard what happened, I was heartbroken, for your family, friends, and brothers in arms. You are missed by many, and you touch many more than you knew, even as a kid.
God Bless.
