Just got a call from BJ Wright's sister in law that BJ passed away this morning. He was like a brother to me and I will miss him dearly. He played bass with Hank Snow for many years and with Justin Tubb for a long time after that.

...........and also a great buddy of mine, I was on tour with him and Hank a lot in my early days in Nashville. BJ was solid fun to be around, I'll always remember him with a big smile. A very nice person that made everyones playing job a lot easier.

Proud to have known him and got to call him a friend.

I hate to hear this...BJ was a great guy to play in a band with...always played and sang and smiled as hard as he could...he will be missed.
