Obsessive sports parent but made BJ look nearly unbeatable. Also famous for son Todd, 1st round NFL draft pick who flamed out spectacularly.

Given his obsession with health, 81 is a bit of a failure. My candy addicited grandfather went til 89.

May he rest in peace, he took BJ to a different level.

That sucks to hear, Alzheimers is a bitch. What he did with Penn (and others) is a testament to his abilities. RIP.

Prime BJ Penn was a force of nature, and we know now that BJ isn't exactly an easy guy to deal with.

Unfortunate news, thankfully he doesn't have to deal with Alzheimer's anymore. He wasn't the best role model or family man but he accomplished quite a bit. RIP.
