Bub, you will be missed by many. You were a great influence and inspiration for me as I entered the Marine Corps 23 years ago. I always appreciated your friendship. As life continued for us all, you were always understanding and we certainly continued a level of mutual respect for each other. I enjoyed the many golf games and fishing trips over the years. I am sure you are surrounded by familiar faces now. Keep the fly-line tight! Semper Fi!
