“BJ” Flanary
Billie Joe “BJ” Flanary was born January 16, 1944 in Mt. Airy, MD. He was the fifth of eight children. As a young boy, BJ grew to love horses while working on a Thoroughbred farm in Frederick, MD. As a young man, he was an air policeman in the USAF and received the Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon and National Defense Service Medal. BJ loved to entertain us all with stories about his horses, Jubilee, Amanda, Sweet Baby, Rocky, Dusty and Sox, and especially his three Beagles, Toby, Tyler and Trueman. Everyone enjoyed BJ’s stories – over and over again – but that’s one of the many things we all loved about him. BJ was an extremely compassionate and very giving person. If you asked him for a favor, or even if you didn’t, he was right there to help. BJ is survived by his daughter, Kimberly Ann Squires, and his wife of 24 years, Cindy. We will all miss him terribly. A Celebration of BJ’s Life will be held on May 9, from 12 – 4 p.m. at the Columbia Crest Winery in Woodinville. Details will follow. Thank you.
