Our family lived next door to the Contine's in Fairfields until we moved 44 years ago this month. I remember often the neighborhood gatherings in their backyard and the fun we all had. I always consider them neighbors and life long friends. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Love, Rebecca Favre Lipe

Brad & I were so sad to hear about the passing of "Uncle Bubba". He was truly our favorite - so much fun and always had a smile on his face. He was also my Mother's favorite cousin, so much that she wanted us to call our only son "Bubba" which we did and still do until this day. We will miss him. Our prayers go to the family and Aunt Gin. All our love, Brad & Peggy Lee

Aunt Gin, the thing I will always remember about Mr. Bubba was his humor. We could never vist with you without Mr. Bubba making us laugh. He also was a very good salesman. Don, your dad was a good man.
