Uncle Bubba, you will never know how much you meant to me. I cherish the many times you had taken me under your wing to teach me to fish and hunt. As an adult, when I go out fishing, I have very fond memories of you taking me as one of your own, as Pam, Keith, and Jeffery. You and Aunt Mable were my parents as well and I will always have fond, loving and everlasting love for both of you for the person you helped mold into the man I am today. I leave you with a heavy heart to to know I love you lots. Rest in peace
