B J and I grew up together in Port Arthur and were classmates at DeQueen Elementary School and hung out as best buddies a lot. He was a great friend and so much fun to be around.

WOW so very sorry to learn of his passing, I worked with B.J. in the probate court with persons that have IDD and have Impositions of Legal Disability up until his retirement. He will be greatly missed in the community.

I just learned of BJ's passing. It was a shock. Gone too soon. BJ worked in the District Attorney's Office when I did. He loved to experience all that life had to offer. One of the good guys. So sorry for your loss.

B.J. will be missed tremendously. He lived life to the fullest. A lesson we all should learn from him. Many stories he told us made us smile, so when i think of him, I smile, and I know all off us will. I feel truly blessed to have known him.

You don't get many friends like BJ in a lifetime. I'll think of him every time I shoot a duck, go to the Elk's Club or visit New Orleans. He's been a hugely important part of my life and I'll miss him every day.

BJ was always one of the good guys. Haven't seen him in many years but am sure he was still the same nice guy. Wish you had come to some of our class reunions.
