Aubrey was a roommate of mine at Trevecca and I consider him a good friend. We work together, planting trees and storking furnaces in the early mornings. We would pull our money and buy food after we got paid. I wish I had gotten in contact with him years ago. He was a fine person.

Ruby and family,
I just saw Aubrey´s obituary tonight. I am so sorry. Aubrey was the sweetest nicest person that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. All of us at Camp Lejeune Satotravel were blessed to be able to work with him every day. Please accept my condolences.
