Although he had been ill for some time, he continued to work hard and enjoyed taking the crops out this past fall. He was a former member of the Clark County Fair Board.

In earlier years Bub enjoyed hunting and fishing. He enjoyed playing fast pitch softball and he and his teams played many games during the season. He was also an avid golfer and enjoyed playing golf with Todd and friends and the road trips to Biloxi and other places. Having come from humble beginnings himself, Bub extended his hand and gave to many people who were experiencing problems out of the goodness of his heart. He was a devoted family man. His family was the light of his life and he was fortunate to have them close by.
