Bonnie and sons, I have no words for any of you. Bonnie, you know how much I enjoyed Jeff, running into him at the Manor, in town, at KU. I'm having a very hard time accepting this. I can't imagine what you are going through right now. I loved this guy. I'm sending you hugs from Florida.

I first met Bubba on Jan. 25, 1971 when I started at KU. I know because that day was my birthday. We worked together for 32 years. Everyday I worked with him was a good day. I am heartbroken, we always got along all those years. I loved that big guy and am going to miss him a lot. My heart felt sympathy goes to all of his family.
