Dear Bugbee Family,
Our sincere condolences.
Billy, you taught me math in the eighth grade at St. Matthew's. Now, I am an accountant. You were then and now are I presume just like your Dad, kind and generous.
Thank you.
Respectfully,
The White Family

So sad news! Dick was a special friend and instrumental in encouraging my advancement through the Elks to Past State President of the Michigan Elks. Although, it's been many years since we have been together, he has been in my heart all these years. God Bless the family as they go through this loss, he certainly was a treasure to be with.
