Per Tim's post "We lost a good one..." in the MG-RA section... DAMN. For those of you who knew BJ; Husband, Father, NASA employee and Guzzi extraordinare. Salt of the earth indeed. I feel honored to have known him, though not as well as I've liked. He survived a crash a few years back that wouldv'e killed most, and he still rode again. When the group rode out to see him ~2 years ago, I left a donation on behalf of the SoCal Guzzisti and the thankfulness from his wife and son were overwhelming. I got a X-mas email wish from him just this week. He is already missed.
I already know no one will fill his shoes, and in the end if any of us are 1/10th the man, feel honored. Passing in his sleep on X-mas eve is very fitting.
I will get in touch with his wife to see if there us anything I can do, and perhaps take up a donation to donate somewhere on his behalf.
Godspeed BJ. Hopefully you're riding the Convert hack high in the sky.
