Of the many platitudes he encountered, Mr. Bunsavage was most amused by two in particular: If you aim at nothing you will hit it every time. Also: What part of NO do you not understand?
As per Mr. Bunsavages wishes, no formal services will take place, but thoughts and prayers are always appreciated.
