My heart is heavy as I grew up with Bubba. I remember the seventies when he use to let me DJ beside him at the hole in the wall of a cafe in Inverness ,Ms. He taught me to ride his motorcycle and than let me ride it like it was mine. He was always a down to earth guy . I always went by his office when I came home to talk with him for a good laugh .I’ll miss him always for he was more like a brother than a friend. See you in paradise. My condolences to the family. ( Mackauthur Baker)
