I am making this second entry to the guest book because I think it may offer some comfort to Colin's loved one's. I was a high school friend of Bubba's, and although I had not seen him for decades, I often had fond memories of him. He came to me in a dream around the time of the funeral. He was dressed in a silvery, silk, neru style racing shirt, and he had a great big smile on his face. To me, that was a sign of him being someplace heavenly. As sweet, kind and gentle as he was, his happy smile was one of his signature's. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him.

As a person lucky enough to be part, thru mariage, to the Aitchison family, I was honored to have known Colin and his parents. He was a great person who was one of the nicest people I have ever known. He was a great son and seemed like my best friend everytime I was around him. He was a tribute to you, Rosie and although I never saw him much since I moved to Georgia, his death shook myself, Cathy and the boys. It hurt. God bless and Aunt Rosie please visit us in the future. Thank you for Colin, Tommy and yourself. Your sister is goosing him now.

Mrs. Aitchison: I was married to Bubba's good friend Walter Biagioni, who also passed away way too soon in October of 2006. I can remember so many good times with the two of them ... I can remember them both dressed in their best suits, driving their limos ...

Please accept my deepest condolences. Bubba was a wonderful, gentle soul.

Rose, I was struck with great sadness when I heard the news. On my trips back to Conn. from Calif., I had thought on a number of occations to find Bubba and pay him a visit. I am so sorry that I missed the chance. Bubba was a gentle and kind soul and I know he will be greatly missed. I'll remember him with great fondness and affection. My heart felt condolences.

The loss I’m now feeling can only be mitigated by the golden memories I have with Colin as I reminisce about the past.

The 70's was all about muscle cars, hanging out at the Greeks, Briarwoods, or Duchess and talking about cars for some of us. We were the clutch-heads at Trumbull High. These days would never have been as meaningful to me without Bubba.

“Hey Gene, Let’s take a ride”. Ok, Bub. First, we’d stop to pick up Sammy, then make a quick stop at the Canteen for a “dog”, then go pick up Guy on George St, then go down to the point at Seaside to see who was gonna drag race from Catherine St on Rte 25 that night. Sometimes we’d be in Guy’s orange Duster (he didn’t have his license yet) and sometimes we’d be in Bubba’s silver GTX. I can still feel the thunder under my feet and the “rumble” when he pressed the gas of that big-block 440. Remember?

Bubba characterized everything that was good to me back in those days. His “mood rings”, the trips to Peppe’s Pizza, hanging out at the kitchen table playing cards, or crammed into the den watching t.v. while Mr. A was working on his “spiral art” were days I’ll always remember. I always loved the xmas parties Mrs. A hosted, too.

Well, as I pass along the same roads today there are fewer things that “take me back” to those days. The little hot dog shack on Noble Ave is gone, CVS now stands where Briarwoods was, and Duchess was converted to Captains Pizza long ago. Thank god the Canteen is still the same. Because now that Bubba is gone there isn’t much remaining to remind me of those good old days. This loss will weigh heavily on me for years to come...Be well in your next life my brother,

Your Loving friend,
