I was sorry to hear about the death of James today. I last saw him at the Shoppers Food store in Waldorf, MD in November where we talked for a while. I served with him in the D.C. Air National Guard where he was always professional and helpful. I will miss him!!!!

Bonnie, you have our deepest sympathy. Bubba was a true friend, and you added to the mix. Bubba was a ride or die friend, who would do anything to help. Bubba was one in the gang who have been tremendous in making sure things were maintained in my house and yard, taking pressure off my wife, I love him for that, and I love you. James Wright. may I add Bonnie I greatly appreciate Bubba's genuine friendship with James and all he has done to help us. What an awesome husband you have. A true man of God, who talked the talk, and walked the walk. James and I will truly, miss Bubba on his journey to the Eastern Shore, along with his cooking. Love you, Lisa Wright

Earth has no sorrow that God cannot heal. Bonnie know that you have the wonderful memories of Bubba and your life together. God will take you thru the difficult times when everything becomes the new normal of not having your spouse. May you rest in His care that what doesn't kill you only makes your stronger.

Richard, Tracy, Pam, and Diane. I was devastated to hear of Bubba passing. You guys know how we roll, we all have been so close. Wishing I could be there. Lisa and I send our most heartfelt sympathy. Bubba was a true friend, awesome husband, son, father, brother, friend, co-worker. Remember this is not our home we are just traveling through. Bubba and others who have gone on before us cannot crown Jesus Christ, until we get there. Rest In Peace, my brother and friend. Love you man. Holy Spirit, bring comfort.
