He was a diesel mechanic and truck driver for many years. Bub loved being outdoors, rather it be him tinkering on old cars or messing with race cars. He would have his old country music or rock and roll music blaring when he’d pull up. He spent most of his summer nights at Speedrome. He loved his family, friends and fur babies, Kia, Shelby and Cooper with everything in him. Bub loved to watch wrestling and no one could ever top his favorite NASCAR driver, Dale Earnhardt.
