We the Staff of Kraeer Sample Road Funeral Home would like to extend our most deepest and heartfelt condolences on the passing of your loved one.  “Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal but love leaves memories that no one can steal.”

So saddened to hear of BJ’s passing after fighting such a valiant fight and winning...
He always had a huge smile and a big hug for you. My heart goes out to you Nancy and Family...((Hugs)) 

He will be missed by many, he was a joy to talk to. He will always be “Olive “ to me.  😁

I have known BJ and Nancy for years.  Too many wonderful memories to list.  But, I am so grateful that I have those memories. BJ was a wonderful man and he will be truly missed.  Heaven is surely a better place.  I feel sure that he is enjoying the good life there as he did here with his friends and family.  Rest In Peace BJ.  We love and miss you! 

Sharing in your sadness as we all remember BJ. A person that leaves this earth never truly leaves, they are alive in our hearts.  My deepest condolences to all of BJ’s  closest friends and family. BJ had the best disposition with all that he had going, for as long as he had going. Who wouldn’t love BJ,  a kind, caring man, a great friend,  and a talented chef? You could hear his creativity, describing what he prepared;  you could always tell how he enjoyed showcasing his culinary talents.  Even better, was hearing others describe his food. When last we spoke we were talking about food, family and  football... I remember him introducing me to Penzey’s spices, when I first visited many years ago.  I think Nancy found me a catalog to take home with me.  I last spoke with him on Super Bowl Sunday and we decided it was not that “super” a day, because neither of our teams were in it to win it.  Football season won’t be the same without his fun banter, jabbing New England fans, with fun memes and Steeler comparisons. I am sure he is taking his Terrible Towel on, always showing his loyalty. 

BJ was a WARRIOR. He fought the great fight and at no time complain or feel sorry for himself.  BJ was a PERFECTIONEST at his craft, FOOD!  He was a great Chef and it was a treat to be invited to his table.  BJ was a huge STEELERS fan.  I never held it against him.  He had terrible towels hung over the chairs at the table.  I hated to brag or gloat whenever my team, the Patriots won.  He loved to remind me that his team had 6 Lombardy trophies to my 5. BJ never lost his OPTIMISM to conquer his fight. Any lessor person would have thrown in the towel, but not my friend BJ. If you were a friend, consider yourself truly blessed!
