My sincere condolences. I was shocked to hear of B.C.’s passing. I will miss our chats when he would stop in to say hello at the Town Hall. Always telling me of stories of his travels and handing out pens or other small gifts. Rest in peace my friend. Sore with the eagles!!!
Sarla my dear:
Our condolences and prayers for BC, for you and the family. BC’s passing came as a shock. Will see you soon. Love, blessings and Namaste! Yvor, Kyle and Angie
I met BC through the Shoreline Chamber of Commerce. I was instantly drawn to him – his respectful treatment of others, very funny jokes and lively personality. He told me great stories about his college life and some of his travels. His deep love and affection for his family was always present. I feel that I’ve lost a piece of me with his passing.
