I am so sad to read of BJs passing. My deepest sympathies and prayers for his family. BJ and I were close in high school. He was always so sweet and funny. I have a lot of memories of BJ.

I remember us drinking 4 cups of coffee and talking every morning before high school, like old men, despite you drinking 2 pots before leaving the house. A genuine good soul that radiated happiness and honesty. Fair winds and following seas, old friend.

We're all going to miss you, buddy. I rest easy knowing you are with the Lord. I'll never forget all of our great talks we had in the break room. This place won't be the same without you.

I'm so sad to hear this. BJ was always sincere, friendly, and great to be around....all those years ago when we all hung out. I wish I would have known how to be more like him.

I will testify under oath that BJs loyalty to his brothers and sisters knew no bounds, his laughter was so genuine as to shake houses down the block, and his kindness radiated from deep within his huge, golden heart.

I'm so sorry to hear of BJ's untimely passing. He was a big part of my life back in the day and I will hold all our memories dear to my heart. If you ever met BJ, you will certainly never forget him. Rest in heaven old friend.

My angel, it took us over twenty years to find our way back to each other. I never realized how much I missed those big blue eyes and contagious laugh... and, now they are gone again. My heart breaks since you were taken from all if us ENTIRELY TOO EARLY.
Your huge heart will sorely be missed by so many. I always smile when i think of my tough Harley guy who tears up at a Hallmark commercial.
The boys and I will forever love, miss, smile, talk, and think about you. Please never forget how proud you made me to be by your side.... Forever loved, Maria
