Bummie was the nicest guy I ever had the pleasure of knowing. We worked together @ Liberty Mutual and had a lot of fun times together. My deepest sympathy to Jerry and all the Children.

I am so sorry to hear that Bummie passed away. I will always remember the fun that we used to have giving each other a hard time about Clemson and Wake Forest. He was such a dear person and I will miss him dearly.
