"Uncle Bub" to me for 57 years, this dear man was always supportive, kind, generous and humorous. I will never forget the many trips he took with the McCoy clan to Roscoe. He made several excursions to visit my family where the Army had planted us around the world. I will cherish the memory of his smile, his jokes, his friendship and his unwavering strength in facing many health setbacks. Uncle Bub also proved to be a talented craftsman; he presented us with unique gifts which will be treasured for years to come. Always in my heart, Uncle Bub. Love, Susan
