Survivors include his sister, Rita Bunker and her husband Eddie; his nieces Paula Staley, Rhonda Smallwood, and Dianne Harmon and her husband Tommy; and his nephews, Donnie Gannaway and his wife Donna, George Robert Gannaway and his fiancé Leah, and Gus Wehmeyer and his wife Anna.

Bub was a good man. He and I had talked recently when I visited Mother at Riverwood, and I had looked forward to visiting with him more. I did not know about his death until after the service - or I'd have been there. I'm so sorry.
