Folks Of Interest Lost another good one today GMC BUBBA :-(

With heavy heart, I have to announce the passing of a friend and fellow Hotrodder Jim "Bubba" Linder...GMC BUBBA here on the HAMB...
Bubba has been a big influence and mentor in my life, as he was to many many people over the years... One of the best Ignition\Distributor people out there. Compassionate, funny, generous and at times, instigator. He frequently used and taught "Bubba Logic".... Could fix any Model T you could find...
What can I say...He will be missed.....

 

Aww Damn. So sorry to hear this.

 

Sad to hear. Condolences to his family.

 

Godspeed Jim.

 

My least favorite threads on the HAMB are those dealing with the loss of one of our own. My condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

 

my prayers go out to his family and friends, definitely a man of great knowledge and experience.

I will greatly miss his advice and posts....

..

 

Dang it. RIP.

 

Heartbreaking.

My sincerest condolences to those whom loved him or called him "friend."

 

Oh no! Hate to hear that

 

Prayers for his family, friends and fellow hot rodders.

 

RIP

 

Condolences to his family RIP.

 

I'm very sorry to hear this. My condolences to all of Jim's family and friends.

 

Oh no. I will miss his wisdom.
Godspeed

 

Jim was a wonderful advocate for the hobby. He helped me a lot when I was just getting into classic cars. He was a great influence on not only me, but a great number of folks in the local car community. Some of the best times I've ever had were at the Bubbas Wednesday Night weekly event he hosted for about 10 years. He will be missed, no doubt. God Speed Jim....

 

Wow…I hate to hear that. He will be missed for sure. Praying for his family and close friends.

 

He will be missed. Very sorry to see.

 

Oh no Hate to hear that. He was THE MAN when it came to ignition problems and solutions. His advice and him will be missed.

 

RIP

 

Never spoke with Bubba but from all that I’ve read I sure wish I had. I really don’t like to hear of experts in this hobby passing. Condolences to his family. I do have one of the last distributors he built going into my ‘49 Merc which will reside in my ‘32 so every time I start that engine I’ll think of Bubba...

 

Only met him once… parked my car there during the 500 one year. Had some SPAM. He must have a million friends who’ll miss him dearly.

 

RIP. He helped make my sedan run well with his purple-dotted distributor.

 

Sorry hear this, Condolences and RIP GMC Bubba. Sorry to all the Buddies he had here.

 

very sorry to here this. RIP Jim.

 

RIP Jim.

 

Sorry to hear this chatted with him a couple of times was a bundle of information
Condolences to family and friends

 

Always a big loss when it's someone who seemed to share so generously.

Bubba, serving it up at the 2008 Indy Road Rockets' Rumble.
