Bimbo and I go a long way back (to the teenage years before he lost his leg) when he and BC ran around together but he was a life long friend and was always just a phone call away. Even when he was in his cups as we liked to call it he was always very respectful to me and the kids and he will always hold a special place in my heart and we always ended our conservations with love ya see you soon. He was one of a kind and the world will be at a loss without him but he is in a better place.
Bimbo was truly one of a kind. I've known him a long time, and there were sometimes years between our visits. He would just show up out of the blue and lay on his horn. We always knew it was him. Never a dull moment when he was around. He had a big heart, loved his dogs,
hunting, family, and his Bud Weiser. Prayers for God's peace and comfort for his family.
Bimbo you will be truly missed ??
We have nothing but very fond memories of Bimbo?? He was one in a million in his ways and personality . He will be missed by so many!! Stroll away Bimbo, on those streets of gold!! Whole and well again!??????
Bimbo was my sweet , loving brother that I loved dearly and he knew it.
LOVING BROTHER
