Very sad to hear the news of Bubba's passing. Remembering the neighborhood football games growing up with Bubba, Steve, Jeff, John, and Billy. Also remember taking typing class over summer school...what were we thinking?? Rest in peace.

Bub, the good times we had will be memories forever. Stories from places like "The Silo", Peotone, Plainfield and that trip to Michigan. No one will forget that night at Sally's or the fun from my wedding. This world will not be the same without you.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the family of Sean. I haven't seen him since we played on the mustangs together (Tom was our couch) but I was very sad to hear this. This news brought many memories back all of them fun because we were young with no concept of the world and what that brings (good with the challenges).

Life is about loss...that's just life but it never gets any easier. Hopefully it makes us all appreciate what we have and the time we have together.

Rest easy on the other side Sean.

Oh Sean... It was just a few weeks ago I called ya and we were discussing life and how crazy it is. I remember when we were discussing the fondest or funniest memory of each other we had & it made you laugh so hard to tell me about that, and I think that is what I will miss most of all about you. Your smile and laugh were so contagious.
I hope you are out of pain and just runnin happy and free where you are now. You will always have a special place in my heart. Rest peacefully my wonderful friend, until we meet again.
