Born November 23, 1955, Bubba was one of God?s special children who always had a smile and made others smile in his presence. He was big brother to Cindi Whitt Barulli, uncle to Angela and Patrick Shea, Michael Barulli and Michelle Hileman, and great-uncle to Hayden Barulli. Bubba was the brother by heart to Pam Moore and Katy Taylor, cousin to Johnnie and Jerry Eason, Gracie and Leon Smith, Suzie and Roy Abels, and Annie and Dewayne Hall. They were always here for Bubba and just a call away. Bubba had many cousins, friends, and care attendants who will miss his calm nature.

A special thank you to Rose and Lawrence Moore who stepped in as ?adopted parents? shortly after Mom died. Their love and support is greatly appreciated. To Nana and Jim Griffin who were always available to Bubba when needed. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Shriners Hospital, Shreveport, LA, or Deaf Action Center of LA, Shreveport, LA.
