Bubba was a great man who loved everyone and noone was a stranger to him. He will be greatly missed my many for many years to come. I missed his face every morning at Habitat for Humanity with his kind smile. I am just learning that he went to be with the Lord. We will always miss him as our smiley man who drove the funny looking white truck.

I met Bubba in the early 80's at the Honda Shop in Thibodaux. After many years gone by, Bubba still remembered me when my name was mentioned. He would never forget a face, much less a friend. I haven't talk to him recently but I was kept informed of his life threw his brother in law, My condolences to the family. He is no longer suffering and is at peace with other friends and family. I pray (as I'm sure he will agree) that your sufferings here on earth may be short lived and that peace will find you in memory of Bubba. In Jesus name. AMEN.

I am sorry to read of Bubba's passing.
I met up with him in Daytona Beach a couple times for Bike Week. We had a good time. I would also see him here in Thibodaux.
Rest In Peace Bubba!

Bubba loved his wife, he loved God, he loved his family and his friends and he loved life. Bubba was my friend and was there for me whenever I needed him. I only regret that I couldn't be there for him when he needed a friend. Rest In Peace my friend as you enter gods kingdom and as you re-unite with your son. Thanks for being such a friend
