I just found out about JB's passing. What a blow! I don't think I've ever met a person quite like him. Handsome, talented, accomplished, brave, a good brother and father to his siblings and sons, full of mischief, and sometimes a real "pill"! It seemed to me he tried living life to the fullest. Oh, did I mention handsome? To a good friend---truly , he will be missed.
To Randy and JB's children, you have all my sympathy and prayers. May God help you through your grief.

I´m sorry to hear of Jerry´s passing. He was an admired athlete of many growing up in Oldham. I appreciated his service to our country, his referee skills, his baseball knowledge; he was just a cool guy. I´m glad to have known JB. Prayers to his family.

Jerry was a good friend of mine and we played amateur baseball together for the Oldham team in the mid 80´s. God bless you, Jerry!
