Not sure what to say?

It's hard to believe that you are gone, Bubba. We miss you and have fond memories. Rest in peace. Howard and Sandy

I was fortunate to live one street over from Bubba where we frequently played pickup games of football, baseball and basketball growing up together in the neighborhood. Rest in peace, my friend. He was one of the good guys.

Dear Tina, I was very sorry to read about Bubba's passing via Lloyd's email. When we met in the 70's in Colorado Springs, Bubba became a good friend and even our roommate too! I always appreciated his welcoming spirit, kind heart, and mischievous smile. Although we lost touch after I moved to SF and then San Rafael, CA, I wanted to send a few words of comfort to you/family. He was one of those people who was larger than life and will be missed by those near and far. If your travel plans ever...

Very sorry for your loss.

Tina, I was so sorry to hear of Bubba´s passing. He would always have a hug and a laugh for me when he came to the office. He will be missed.

Bubba´s warm presence graced the Peak Theater on a regular basis, a beacon of kindness. His genuine interest in others, asking about families and well-being, touched hearts. Thoughtful and caring, Bubba left an indelible mark. I would bend over backwards to greet him (and Tina), for his cheerful outlook made me and my staff feel appreciated. In this world, such genuine joy is rare. Farewell, dear Bubba. You are missed.

Gary was such a positive presence to everyone he came in contact with. He was funny, compassionate and generous. The Freedland family will miss him terribly and our love and condolences go out to Tina.

Bubba was an amazing man that was always down for a good laugh. He would sass me anytime I saw him. Took a few years of my managing the Starbucks on the Westside to realize he's known my family for decades and met me when I was a toddler. His laugh and smile is missed immensely at Starbucks! Tina keeping you and the family in our thoughts and prayers! Much love, Katie Cox and the 31st and Colorado Starbucks crew!

A best friend. Will be in my heart forever.
