I am so sorry to hear about Bubby. I was 8 years old when I first met him and he welcomed me into the family like I had always been there. He kept me smiling and laughing. He truly had a heart of gold and was a wonderful man. You couldn’t help but love him. Thank you for the wonderful childhood memories. I am keeping the family in my thoughts and prayers. Until we meet again Bubby. ❤

So sorry to hear of Bubby's passing. Always enjoyed talking and joking with him. I remember the joke that he played on me several years ago at Ryan's. We were talking about that the last time I saw him. Prayers for your family.
