He was a great guy and a pleasure to deal with.
He helped me with several projects and will be missed.
Condolences to his family.

Betsy Jo, condolences to you and your family. I didn't know Bubba, but Ziggsters link brought him to me. I tried his spark plug test as a teenager...landed on the garage wall. Ha Ha!
RIP Bubba. JPL
