Thomas W. Startzel

Tom and I were stationed together at Hawaii ( MCAS Kaneohe). He was renting a house near the base, and I would often motorcycle out to his place for a few beers, buzzes and laughs. A gentle giant, a nice guy.

Do not Know where to Start? I am deeply hurt to hear of Tom/Bubba as I knew Him passed on. I have not seen or heard from Him in Years! But that will Never Diminish the Fond Memories I shared with Him & His Family. Back in High School He could talk Me into anything. Just for I could Hear His Contagious Laughter in the Backround. I call it the BUBBA Laugh. Lots of Great Times! Boy Scouts/Wrestling/Vega Rides/ & Partner in Crime, Minor Infraction I might Add. Saw Your Video Tribute it was Beautiful & Sad at the same Time. I Pray for all the Family Members,NEVER EASY! GOD SPEED! & Timmy the Son,make Your DAD PROUD! Did not Know You, But My Sincere Sympathy goes out 2 You. Stay Strong! Dad was a GREAT GUY! GOD SPEED! Prayers sent 2 ALL. Love Chris A.

RIP Bubba
