Sharleen, Amber and Stephen, your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Bunky and your whole family made me feel like I really belonged in Poquoson, not like an outsider. Bunky came to my rescue many times when Jared was deployed. You are family and I feel your loss but know he is pain free and up in heaven enjoying the peace. I hope you too find peace and comfort during this time. With love and friendship

I am very sorry to see that Bunky passed to the Heavenly Fire House...I remember him foundly trying to teach this old dinosaur new rescue tricks in 1999. I remember most about his unique way of explaining diabetes. I use his cartoons to explain to my grandmother about her medicine and food intake.

Sharleen, Amber and Stephen,
May God bless you all during this time. Bunky is a great man who has influenced so many people. I remember the days that he would coach me and guide me as a young EMT and Fireman, I take away a lot of lessons from my days at the Poquoson Fire Department and Bunky was a big part of them. I can recall some very funny times I spent with him and the crew at the Fire Station and some times I was able to visit and get to know you all as well. These will be...
