He had his own unique way of communicating. Bugs was a devoted and faithful member of Calvary Assembly in Tupelo and greatly enjoyed attending Church and church functions. He worked many years as custodian at Allied Enterprises. Bugs enjoyed riding the roads in his little truck, fishing and hunting early in life.
