  • Dear Jackie and family
    So sorry for your loss of a great man. He was always positive and calm. Everyone enjoyed working with him. Bubba and I started at the Survey Section about the same time and worked together many years. A really good man.

  • Bob and Jackie have been customers at my auto repair shop for years. Always a pleasure to serve them. Bob was always smiling and happy. Wonderful to work with. So sorry!

    Dear Jackie and family,
    I worked with Bubba for many years at Maricopa County DOT. He is the most kind man I have ever met. Never had a negative thing to say about anyone. He was very smart as well. He learned to program/code on his own. We worked closely together and developed a database that is still used by every surveyor that works in Maricopa County. He will be missed.

  • We send all of our prayers to your whole family for strength and peace! From our family to yours, many blessings!
