Oh Bubba,
How I am going to miss seeing you and have you come up behind me at work and tickle my ear. I have fervently prayed for you and only wish you could have loved and cared about yourself, half as much as you did others.
James 4:14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
With a heavy heart, Lori-lee Kennedy

Bubba,
Thank you for 18 years of good times at work, Sunday pool leagues and golf.
You were the true meaning of a real friend that touched many people and you could always break a 20 dollar bill with the cash that you kept in your shirt pocket.
Rest easy my friend, I miss you already.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

My deepest condolences goes out to Lisa, Anna, and Bubba's family on your loss. Words cannot express how great and caring Bubba was to me and my daughter over the last 10+ years. Not a day went by that I did'nt hear "Did I tell you how good you look today Amy?" I'm gonna miss this man and his Bubba'isms deeply. This world was a better place with Bubba in it and he will be missed forever.
