BJ was one swell guy.
I will always remember him visiting visiting here in Charlotte.
There was a trip to a car show with Clay and I that was a hoot.

There are no words that can fill the emptiness in your heart, but perhaps it will know others care.
I loved his sense of humor and fun.

I never had the privilege to get to know B.J. because it wasn’t long after I started working at Biltmore with Security that he became reserve. However, everytime I saw him, he was always very pleasant and nice to me which made me enjoy coming to work. I am so very sorry for your loss. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Allene, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember when you met BJ and I also remember attending your sweet marriage reception. I would love to reconnect with you when you are up to it. I’ll wait for you to contact me. Love and Blessings, Wanda
I worked with BJ in Huntsville, AL on the NASA Space Program at IBM. BJ was a good fellow and a friend and he will be missed…
The remaining members of the IBM Group in Huntsville are happy that Mr. Drummond found such an interesting place to ‘work’ after his retirement. Hope family members can return to Huntsville sometime to visit the Space Center and see the display IBM supported about the work on the Saturn V.
