My deepest condolences to Bubba's family ! He was an excellent employee and excellent Conductor on the River St. Rambler... He was one of the first employees that I got to know, when I came here in 1988, as Supt... I later got to know Becky at the dental office in Garden City...

Carol and Bubba have been friends of ours for many years. You might say that time and age have been a big interruptor lately of our time spent together. We always enjoyed each other’s company.Bubba will most certainly be remembered with loving thoughts and we now pray that he is in the hands of our Lord Jesus Christ.

My dearest Carolyn and family, Another Shinning light from Nativity - Saint Peter’s has been extinguished here on earth but shines brightly above showing us the path to follow.
