Bubba loved his precious pug, Mudgrip, with all of his heart. He enjoyed hunting, watching old westerns, fishing in the pond, gardening, and spending time with family and loved to spoil his nieces and great-nieces and great-nephews. His eyes lit up and sparkled when he was around his loved ones and he will truly be missed.
