It is with great sadness to hear of the loss of your lost BJ. He was truly a wonderful neighbor for over 40+ years. Our family lived to the right of BJ's Shop. He looked out for us and we always kept an eye for him while he was often alone fixing everyone' lawn mowers from near and far. If a vehicle stayed too long or an unrecognizable vehicle was on the premise, someone made their way over to see if he was okay. BJ loved to share his produce with our family just to share a few kind things.

We know that we can't understand how badly you are hurting right now, but we hope your life with such a man gives you some measure of comfort; by cherishing all the good, bad, pretty, and ugly memories they will bring you joy and peace.

Wishing you peace during this time,
The Tarts' Family
Woodson, AR 72180
