Bubba and I grew up in the same neighborhood and were friends all the way through high school. We played basketball and football together. I remember the good time we had at the last reunion in 2000. I also have a great picture of Bubba, Marshall, Demetrie and I at the '98 reunion. Ann, my heart goes out to you and your family. I did not know about his long illness. He will be missed by all of his friends. His passing has left a void in my life. God bless you Ann.

So sorry to hear of Edgar's long illness and recent passing. Was looking forward to seeing him at a 50th high school reunion in 2006.

I was so shocked and sorry to read of Bubba's death. He was a big part of my best memories of good times at Rivers, and I'll never forget his mischievous nature and ready grin. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
