For Bubber, a kind and thoughtful man who touched many lives, just like a tree.

We are heartbroken to hear about his passing. Thinking of you as you celebrate his beautiful life. He will live on in your hearts.

Pat, Brad, Tim & Stace: I can still hear Bubber's voice above the crowd shouting "Play Ball" at every sporting event. His legacy lives on in each of you. Your entire family has made such a difference in my life! Play Ball in Heaven Bubber! Love, Rafe

I have many memories of Bubber and my dad racing and working on Quick Silver. I've attached a photo of one of the versions of their race cars. Prayers to the family during this time.

Thank the Lord for Bubba and his family!!!

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Truly hard to take in that he died so recently! In February 1981 he was the first one at my mother’s home when Daddy died so abruptly. He even bought Dad’s truck for the farm. He has been a family man all his life. He had the greatest of soul mates in Pat . He will be missed for his enjoyment of ham and/or chicken fried steak. Aunt Nellie knew how to make the best Farmer’s lunch. Bubber was one of the first to put ketchup on his mashed potatoes and gravy. Yes- for those of us who knew him as our cousin- he will be missed!

Everyone from Hillside Home Group is praying for all of your family at this time. We all love you Stace and Tammi. Your friends in Christ
