To Uncle Bubba,
You are true inspiration for all, you are a Black American hero living through times the average person can't imagine nor endure.  I only know about the history through books you lived it. Surviving the south during a time of no opportunity for a black man, enduring a World War to making a successful life here in California was not easy it's heroic. You overcame so many challenges having to prove yourself each and everyday. I cherish each moment I spent in your company your wisdom and knowledge are unmatched.  Each conversation was full of history, guidance and wisdom which is priceless. I saw your true value as a Man during your last birthday party April people across race and generations were there to celebrate share your special day it was awesome to see. I hope one day I can exude that same level of pride and confidence you have shown each step of the way.  It's been a blessing knowing and being in your life I'm humbled and grateful.
Thank you Uncle!
Dennis R. Mitchell, Nephew.
