Sharing condolences: When parents die

The BJ Alums blog attempts to post obituaries of all retired or former BJ staffers, but many go unnoticed becuase they have moved elsewhere in the U.S. and we have no way to
keep in touch.

It would be even more difficult if we tried to post obituaries of family members.  There were two in the last week, however, that caught our attention

William "Bill" James Carney, father of BJ staffer Jim Carney,  worked for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., in Akron for 34 years, retiring in 1987 as manager of polyester research. He died September 7.

Carol F. Guregian, mother of former BJ staffer Elaine Guregian, a teacher with a master’s degree in education, died September 2.in Ann Arbor, Michigan
