I’m shocked to hear about Bubba’s passing. I remember a lot great times that myself, Neal Kenny and Jack Flanagan had with Bubba and the General at y’all’s home. Nobody could do a better impersonation of General Patton than your Dad. Please accept both mind and Cathy’s condolences for your loss. Matthew 5:4. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”

Anything at all,
