I can’t believe you’re gone. I will see you in heaven.
Miss you more than you know, we’ve been through school together, worked on plans for mini dragsters before they were called Jr dragsters, worked on many projects, drag cars, hot rods and we remained friends through it all.
I’m so sorry, I’ll keep family in my prayers. Please let me know if I can do anything. Lots of Love cousins. Debbie Townsend Pyle. (Cookies daughter)
Bubba, Go rest high on that mountain. I will miss you always and we will be together in heaven one day! I love you forever!!!
Miss you Brother
