Bubby, known as the fisherman and hunter of Bennington would always be the guy tracking the big one in his secret hunting place that only the few privileged would know. You always knew where you stood with Bubby, his quick wit and tell it like it is humor was endeared by all.
In 2011, he retired as an Operator of the Wastewater Treatment Facility for the town of the Bennington after 33 years of service . "I've been taking everyone's s*** for 33 years, now it's time for them to take mine", he said at retirement. Besides hunting and fishing, his interests included testing his luck scratching lottery tickets, watching NASCAR and the Weather Channel, cooking and sharing chili recipes and telling stories.
