It was a pleasure to sing with JB in the Little Flock Male Chorus. He was truly an inspiration to everyone. I shall always hear him, just as he led us singing "The Old Ship of Zion": Get on BOARD, get on Board!

To JB's family,

You have my deepest symphathy. I knew JB well. I've worked at BF for the past 12 years, and JB's bright smile at Bourbon Street was always something to look forward to. Several months ago, I visited the Galt House restaurant, and got the same great service from JB that I've always received at Brown-Forman. His personality and sense of humor were wonderful, and he is irreplaceable. He will truly be missed here, and my heart goes out to the family. He will live on in your memories.
