RB had a good career and a life of service. Never had the opportunity to work with him but that was my loss. God Bless the family and friends. RB is just another Angel called to Heaven way to early. J.D.

Professor Wade was one of the best teachers I ever had; an incredible man, and almost like a surrogate grandfather. I'llnever forget chatting with him and Cheryl and telling her all about how he referred to her as his Helen of Troy in class. I miss him every day. I re-started Dawn in the Sea of Japan last night in honor of his 75th birthday.

I trained RB when he joined the Metropolitan Police Dept, Washington DC. A great Police Officer

The world lost a great public servant, thinker, teacher, friend. I've known Bubba for almost 40 years. He was one of a kind and will be terribly missed by all that were fortunate enough to know him. Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called the children of God.

While living at the Villas of Autumn Run I enjoyed numerous chats with "RB" regarding politics, religion, education and historical events. I was always in awe of his knowledge, especially when it involved history. He shared much about his work as a firefighter, police officer, EMT, etc., all of which was fascinating.

I worked with Bubba at RPD and Retreat Hosp. He was a dedicated Officer and Firefighter.May he Lord comfort Cheryl.

A legend has passed. "Bubba" Wade was a great cop and a good friend. He had a wonderful sense of humor, and most everyone who worked with him has at least one "Bubba" story. In the early 80´s he was one of the founding members of the "Church Hill Rangers." Rest in peace my friend.

Bubba and I were friends in the City. He was a great cop and passionate about his job. We reconnected in Hanover County and worked together at Station 10 and 7. He also was a great team player and was an active firefighter at many stations. We spent many nights talking about our careers and fires we responded together. He will be missed and I know he was a man of faith and is resting easy in Gods hands. God bless his family.

I pray God will comfort family and friends. R.I. P. My brother and thank you for your many years of public service. J.d. (Retired RPD)
