I feel much saddness for Bubba's death. I was here with him on my 3 year quit. He always said the right thing. Always had the right answer. We all looked up to him. He was a great man and I hope he is at peace, at least he and his wife are together again. In loving memory (This quit is for you Bubba) Jnine [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/14/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 85 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,718 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $233.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 11 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 46 [B]Seconds:[/B] 9

He was a wonderful friend who I'll miss terribly. Bubba, the "Grandfather" of this site, here from almost it's beginning. He has not only been an awesome inspiration to so many of us, but he also has touched the lives of us all in some way or another. It takes an extraordinary person to be able to do that. Bubba WAS that person. I will remember him always. My deepest sympathy to his enire family. Kat303

[quote]Like Oink, I do not normally brag...what? Did I say that. Wrong - I am so proud of the impending milestone that I will shout it from the rafters. It brings with it some really interesting other data in the way of working seriousily on one year in life saved and the money not sent up in smoke. I am however having the darnest time locating those savings. Completely off of oxygen now, walking 3 miles aday, got a real christian lady for a sweetheart, etc. If you will forgive the double-negative, It Don't get No better than this. -Lindsay[/quote] The last time I looked Bubba's financial savings were a little over $20,000. I'd say that is something to brag about. He has left many memories on the walls on the SSC. (especially in the stats parade) Let us never forget him and never forget to post our stats.

It is so hard to believe. I am so sorry to see you gone Bubba. You have saved my life by helping me quit smoking. You will be missed terribly on this site especially. I am sure you are now in the arms of your beloved wife Judy at last. Your name will always be remembered at the SSC. Thank you for coming into our lives and for helping so many. We promise to follow your lead and quit smoking forever in your honour. I for one promise you that. Goodbye Lindsey. Look upon us when we need you.

The other Luna chiming in for the loss of Bubba. A straight shooter and a great quitter. I remember well his brief to the point posts.

Thanks for letting us know Katy. I know No-smoking Teresa will be sorry to hear this news. Bubba was the oldest member I've seen here. He didn't always post to threads but when he did he spoke loudly. He would fuss if someone posted for help and others didn't jump in to help them quickly enough. He was always straight forward and direct with people. You knew he was serious about getting quit and staying that way. His presence will be missed here. He was a great man here.
