Bubba I just started to get to know you. You were such a sweet person. I loved your laugh and smile. I remember Billy and Geno. I wish I would have meet you sooner (think I did when I was little). I want to say how sorry I am to Rosemary, Steve, Sheri, his children and all his other close family members that I did not mention. Bubba you are in better place. All the pain is gone but believe me alot are in pain without you. Rest in peace, Bubba. Save me some room.
