My favorite memory of Bubba (he was "Bubba" to us) was the night my husband Wayne (his brother) and I went to their house to show him and Jean my engagement ring and tell them the exciting news that we were to be married. Bubba declared, "Hold on, I´ll be right back!" He hurried down the hallway and came back with a magnifying glass so he could see the diamond! That was Wayne´s brother, always joking and making life fun. We will miss him.
