I am missing Bub today. I think of him often with a smile. I fabricated most all of his sculpture at Deep in the Heart Art Foundry, and we became friends. I went to his gallery in Fredericksburg many times and visited, great stories and memories. He was a unique person you had to get to know to really appreciate his talent and perspective. I wish I had one of his pieces of art in memory of him, I was fortunate to have his friendship. I have a picture his family might want of me and him at the gallery. I'm wondering what of his art might still be around?

We just returned from a trip and were so sorry to hear of Bub's passing. He was such a character as a young man and I remember Roy Vickers, my step dad, always believed in Bub and encouraged him to pursue his artistic abilities. He was gifted. Our deepest condolences to the family. With sympathy and fond memories of Bud,
Sissy and Richard Thomas
