Randy, Greg, Joyce, Kathleen, and all of Buddy’s family we send our deepest sympathy in his home going. What Buddy for many years believed by faith, he now knows by sight!
Love and prayers in the days and weeks ahead,

I will always remember my father-in-law for the way him and Jane welcomed me and my kids into their precious family. We will miss him dearly but he is with my sweet mother-in-law now and neither one of them are in pain. Our world is extremely empty without them to see and talk to! I love you Pop and Emaw and am so happy that y’all were my family !
I couldn’t have asked for better neighbors! My family and I loved Bill & Jane so much and we love all of the Stubblefield family! I miss Jane coming over and sitting at the kitchen table with me just chatting away, I loved talking to her. Bill has always been there for me whenever I needed help with something, especially after Tommy passed away. And he always enjoyed borrowing my John Grisham books. Being a Grisham fan is something else we had in common. The Stubblefield’s are wonderful people and I know they will greatly miss their Pepaw, as will so many others. Sending love and prayers to all of you.
