Bubba was a great guy. I met him a couple of times and did some business with him. Rest in peace Bubba. You were one of the best.

Unhappy A Good Guy

Sad News …

I first met Jim
in 2009 when transported
“ Simple T “ from his shop
on Gasoline Alley in
Indianapolis and hauled
it to an FBI agent
in California …



Jim always wanted to get
Simple T back ….

Followed him on FB - lately he
was enjoying not so healthy food
so I have a feeling he knew time
was limited.

A Good Guy ….

Jim
