Hey Bunk and Family...It was great seeing you all the other day...Bunk you looked FANTASTIC!!! Hope you had fun at Madden's 1st B-day party with the Schnick family! I wish that I could have stayed longer but I am sooo glad I made it back for Connor's final game of the tourney...his team won first and he did an amazing job. Thanks Red for bringing the cooler down to me at the ASC! The Tipsy looks rockin'...Brian and everybody...WONDERFUL work...can't wait until I can make it up and help break it in properly! Bunk thanks for being you and always making me so very thankful for having you in my life. I'll be up to see you again...soon. Love you to you all...Bunk keep kickin' ass!! I'll bring more treats...is there anyway to keep them from Red...we'll work something out!!!!

Hi Bunk:

Just thinking about you and I am sorry that I am not as local on your site as I used to be. Doesn't mean that I'm not thinkng about you because I always am. :)
So, we have your mom on Facebook and now we need to get you on it. It is a great tool for keeping in contact with old friends and new. I think it can work great too to help get the word out. I have your website up on my page as well as the golf pictures. I have already rallied some Portland golfers for next year who saw your pictures and asked me about it. Made me feel really good. They know how important you are to me so they are great guys and can't wait for you to meet them.
Well love, I hope you all are well and doing well.

Miss You,

Kristen

Hey Bunk...Will be up in the area on Saturday for my son Connor's Volleyball Tourney. I was wondering if I could stop by with some chilli for you and grab my big white cooler that you have so nicely housed for me since the golf Tourney!?!? It would most likely be in the earlier morning hours...I can always just drop it off at the door but I would love to see you and your beautiful smile for a few if poss...no need to be up and out of bed...that's where I like best anyhow!!!!! Hope to see you on Sat. If by chance you guys get this before I arrive and don't want to see me...feel free to leave the cooler on the front porch! Love to you all...C.

Hey Bunk...Just checkiin' in. So very sorry to hear about your friend ROJO! Glad to hear that things are going well....especially the breathing...good for you...breathing is always important. Thanks for always being such an inspiration to me and many others. It seems on the days I need it...I can always count on you. I am hoping to make it to Perry's for your Pizza fundraiser but I say that every year and haven't made it yet...who knows...maybe this could be the year. Sorry to have missed the poker night..Hope Traut passed on my love to you all. The tipsy sounds like it's coming along rather nicely...can't wait to check it out. I know I still owe you some chilli...it's coming. Have a wonderful evening. My best to you and your family!!! Love, C.

Bunk,

You are such an inspiration. I just read the updates and I admire you so much. I had a rough day today, taking husband to the doctor, plus other medical details. But, when I read what you're going through, and how bravely you handle everything, my "rough day" doesn't seem so rough. I so enjoy reading about the progress of the Tipsy. We've never met, and I drop a line from time to time, but I'm reminded of you each day I go out on the patio. We still have the Coleman chair cushions and rabbit planter I bought at your great rummarge sale at the church, how many years ago now, three? Thank you for making me appreciate what we take for granted. And, love to your great family and parents. There can't be any better parents than yours! You're very blessed, as are they by having you!
I'm sorry about the passing of your friend.

Quick Reminder to all interested in joining us for Bunk - Baseball - BBQ June 13th at the Big A when the Padres take on the Angels.

Tickets can be purchased online at ttp://bunkgolf.dojiggy.com

Thanks all

Kevin

Hi Bunk!

Just thinking of you and wanted to say hi! I wish I could report something exciting, except to say work is good...it seems like so long ago when things were much simpler and I didn't have to take my work stress home with me! (No one warns you about the joys of having your own practice!! )
Anyway, you're never far from my thoughts...I miss chatting with you on sunday mornings (even if I had you in a head lock and you were forced to listen!!)
lots of luv,

Yvonne

Bunkster:
Not boring. Bobby Cecil and the kids and dog have been living with us for almost 2 months. Very interesting. Like living in my own sitcom but no remote. Their house is coming along and looks really great, done in a couple more months. Cecil designed both houses on Kauai and now this remodel. She is so damn talented.

Rosebud is VERY busy with the grandkids. Me, selectively. Two ball games tonight. R made both of them and I caught just one.
T Bone took a nasty hit at the skateboard park a couple of weeks ago. Did a CAT scan and no damage but he was really goofy (goofier)for a couple of days.
Bufy and JT have sold their house and are moving to another in Los Al. I can't keep up with these kids.
Stopped by Scotty's fitness center, Anytime Fitness, today. He is doing really great, He's running this location and the owners are opening another. He is such a great guy.
They had a fire in Leisure World a few months ago and have waved the no renting rule so the displaced fire victims would not have to stay in a hotel. Worked for me, I'm renting my mom's place and will be for some time. Not selling it now till the market turns around. So, this helps with the monthly fees. No losers here.
Ten minutes off the vent? Pretty impressive. Keep up the good work.
Are you going to have an open house when the Tipsy is finished?
Well, enough for now.
Take care....Uncle Phil

BUNK...HEY BRO, HOW ARE YOU? HAVEN'T BEEN ON IN A WHILE... HOPE YOU DOING BETTER...i PRAY FOR YOU EVERYDAY BROTHER. REMEMBER LIKE I'VE ALWAYS SAID, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE "ATTITUDE". EVERYDAY WILL GET BETTER. POSITIVE THINKING, POSITIVE RESULTS...
TAKE CARE AND I'LL KEEP IN TOUCH.

The record for most time at BJ's has to go to Andy Valdez, a new Buck for the year. Andy came at 11:30 to keep Linda and Priti company and ended up staying til past 9:00pm. I was going to have a nap after work and head over but Linda said they left Andy there by himself and we had to go back, "Right Now." It was unbelievable the number of people who were there in Brea. A big thanks to Rana for setting it up.

Hi Bunk,

Just wanted you to know that Chad and I ordered food today from BJ's for the company we spent over $1,000 Yay!!

Love ya,
Bunk

Happy Thursday!!! Just getting ready to go to work. Looking forward to the BJ's pizza fundraiser on Monday. I think we all decided to go to the Brea location. Iam spreading the word. I have some people ordering takeout at lunch!! I also put the flyer up at Marmalade Cafe. Iam sure my boss loves that I was Advertising another restaurant!! Hopefully see you at the Twisted Vine tomorrow. We are gonna get there around 6:30. Have a good Day!!!

Hi Bunk:

It's been awile, I know but I am always thinking of you. I spread the flyer for BJ's to all my So Cal friends so hopefully they will participate.

How is life treating you? Are you close to getting in your apartment yet?

I have been hit pretty hard with the flu so thank god I work from home. Taking some naps while answering emails and placing calls.

Just wanted to send you a warm "hello" and hopefully put a smile on your face!

Miss you,
Kristen

Hi Bunk,
Looking forward to a piece of pizza and pizookie at BJ's Pizza on May 4th.

15% of all food and non- alcohol beverages go towards Bunk at all participating BJ So Cal restaurtants when bringing in the Bunk Wurth / BJ's flyer soon to be attached at this website.

See you soon with cards in my hand

Kevin

Hi Bunk,
I'm sure you've heard a lot about your Dad's 50th Reunion by now. I gotta tell ya, your Mom and Dad looked pretty darned good out there on the dance floor. You Mom lit up the room with her radiant smile.
Warning: I'm going to come out to visit with all of you next week.
xoxoSheila

Hey Bunk and family...I have finally recovered! It only took a week this time...getting old sucks...can't party like I used too. Thanks for letting me participate in your golf tourney. I always have a blast and hope to be invited the next year...PLEASE!!! Thanks for putting me and my crew at the 5th hole...I asked the guy who drove us out there if we were being taken to another course or were we going to end up in a different zip code?? (Was I that loud last year??) It was great to see you for all of 1 minute at the begining of the day...You look AWESOME!!! You amaze me everytime I see you...you look better and stronger...it's great! I am so very proud to know you and thanks for being an inspiration to many!!! I love you very much and look forward to seeing you soon. I know you guys have my cooler...I'll be up to get it...and when I do I'll be bringing you some chilli! Have a fantastic day...hope you got outside today it was beautiful...thought of your family while I worked in my rose garden. Take care!

Hi Bunk, Sally, and Red -
As usual, it is so good to read the updates about you, Bunk. I have become addicted to reading the Bunker news. I'm sorry I didn't make it to the Golf Tourny. I'm afraid I totally pooped out after grooming and exercizing two horses that afternoon. Rojo gave me a run-down on how good the whole day was. I like your idea of the plastic glass in your shirt pocket so you can spit out your sunflower seeds. BRILLIANT! I hope to see you soon.
xoxoSheila

Hey Bunk!
Sorry I couldn't make the tourney this year - I hope it went well and you enjoyed the day. I did make a donationand let Kevin know so he can add it to the grand total. I hope it was a huge success! I'm always thinking of you!
xoxo
Amy

Alec and family,
Wow. What a great day you had for your golf tourney. Our prayers with you all.

We just had the Coaster Run at SLDC last weekend...I think it was over 2000 runners. AMAZING. Heather and I did the 1K thru Knott's.

SDLC has their Run/Walk a-thon at School on Friday,March 27th 10AM - 1 PM.
It would be a great time to test your wheels a bit..hee.hee.

We will stop by soon.
Love,
The Molyneux Family

Bunk,
Good times on Tuesday, I think the beer pavilion idea went well, thinking of moving the beer pong back out to a golf hole and putting black jack in its place.

I should be by soon to coordinate a few follow up details and let all the participants and sponsors the final results.

Kevin

Yo Bunk - St. Patrick's Day at Coyote Hills was beautiful and so were you. I forgot to tell you that Sheila and I went to Joe Jost's on Sunday March 8 and all the St.Pat's T-shirts were sold out. %&@%. Sorry 'bout that but next year we'll get there early and get you one. See you sometime next week.

Rojo

Bunkster:

I really enjoyed the St. Pat's dinner. But, not as much as Jimmy Killeen and Jimmy Weeks enjoyed the golf. Oh, the good old days.
Everything seemed to go off without a hitch and everyone seemed to have a really, really good time.
You are so lucky to have such an impressive group of supporters and friends, what a vibrant group of people.
I've told the Obama-Jesus joke about 20 times.
I was thinking of the first golf tournament. What a great improvement in the last two years. I know your remember the van with the broken lift. Your folks and you all looked so darn healthy. and everything went off so smoothly. Lots of progress.
See you in the Tipsy.....Uncle Phil

Happy St. Paddy's Bunk. Turns out my cousin, Christina Shea (Connelly Alum) is good friends with your sister Erica...6 degrees of separation huh. Raising a glass in your honor!

Bunk (and Wurth Fam):

Hope the day was a great one. Looking forward to hearing the stories (from OD and T. Reid) and seeing pics from this year's event. Bummed I couldn't be there to partake in the festivities. Happy St. Patty's Day!!!

WW

It's your day Mr. Bunk! I hope you are out there enjoying a beer (or two) with all of your friends and family. I wish I could be there to celebrate with you too...but I will be there at the end of next week and I am planning on stopping by for a visit while I am in OC.
Talk to you soon,
Colleen

Dear Cousin Bunk and Family,

Just catching up with all your updates. Sounds like you're doing very well and the Tipsy is progressing along nicely.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Sorry we will not be able to make it the tournament, but we will be with you in spirit! As Grandpa Phil said earlier, we are up to our elbows in baseball right now. Jimmy decided to play again this year, so we're spending five or six days a week at the park. I love watching my boys play, but I'm feeling a little old and tired these days. However, I am very grateful and blessed to be able to attend all of their games. I know a lot parents who can't always make it the games and it's a bummer for the kids and the parents.

Well, I'm off to watch Michael play a lunch-time basketball game. It's a Monroe tradition for the 5th graders to have basketball tournaments during their lunch break. Can't believe Michael, Jake, and T-Bone will all be in Middle School next year. Time sure goes by quickly!

I hope you have a great day and I will miss seeing you and all your friends today. By the way, both boys are wearing their "Uncle Bunk" Irish green bracelets at school today!

Love and prayers!

Lori, Mike, Mimo, and Jimmy

Bunk,
Sorry I will not be able to get to S. Cal today for your tourny. But I will hoist a pint - perhaps with O'Neill - later today. O'Neill lives with a great women named Helene, her tow young daughters and home, and the other two kids who are older and only leave when the rules get tough. Imagine that..O'Neill with rules. Enjoy the great day! Sean

Hi Bunk,

I received the invitation to your golf tournament from a friend and neighbor of mine, Kevin Traut.

Your story is very inspirational and I will pray for your recovery.

I will not be able to attend the golf tournament today but did make a small donation. I hope to meet you in person someday.

Have a great day.

Chris Geer

Helllo Wurth Family:

Well, today is the big day. I wanted to wish you all a wonderful day. Can't wait to hear all the stories and see your pictures of the day.

Happy St. Patty's Day!!!

Kristen

Bunk Daddy,

I wanted to get in pre-tourney and call my shot. Victory will once again be riding home with the Scarlet and Gray. There are a few things that are a given in life. 1. Everyone loves Bunk. 2. The Monarchs roll up the Friars. 3. Carms always wins the Bunk Classic. Any questions?

I love you bro and can't wait to see everyone tomorrow.

Big Sexy

Hi Bunk:

2 more days till the big day. You don't even know how bummed I am that I will not be there to run part of the show but I know my position was left in wonderful hands with the Rosary ladies.

My father and sis will be attending the dinner. My mom decided to celebrate the day in style so she hopped on a plane to visit Ireland in person. That crazy Marilyn.

I just spoke to Rhett today and he was landing in Palm Dessert to visit his parents at their new home and he and his father will be there as well on Tuesdayfor some golf and dinner.

I look forward to hearing all the stories on the day and looking at your pictures.

Nice to hear your home is moving forward with furniture selections, etc. I am especially delighted to hear that you will be taking up your talent again and paint. I can't wait to see.

Have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day Bunk and I will miss you all!!

Much Love,

Kristen

Hi Bunk,
Great News, Father Sera was able to get his schedule cleared and will be in attendance for the St Patrick's dinner on Tuesday night and will lead us in the blesssing. He is a long time friend of our family and I know a recent friend to yours and it will be good to have him with us to celebrate.

I have received a few last minute registrations this weekend that should push us into the 130-140 count for golfers and with all the dinner guests and volunteers we will top 200 people at dinner on St Patricks Day. You have such the loyal and faithful following as well as group of people who like to enjoy themselves so I am expecting another great time.

Thanks to all your family and friends especially Leigh Wilkens and Kim Mangini who have done most of the work this year as my travel schedule has not been all that cooperative.

I think we are all set for another successful St Patrick's Day Party

Cheers

Kevin

hi Alec, i really enjoyed reading all of the great things in your update! wow! standing machine, breathing on your own again at transfers, organizing a way to paint again in your head and going online to finish your credential!! i was very impressed and happy to see all the great stuff going on. you'll have to invite me over to see your bachelor pad when it is all set up. i'll have to tell dawn about your finishing your credential! remember how many times she had to yell at you to show evidence of your courses and the transcript was ALWAYS in the car??!! hahaha. you are one unique character that i truely love. we are having our Knott's marathon tomorrow, so big prepartations have been going on in school. it would be cool to see you zipping around the course in your chariot. keep up all the great stuff and i'll keep checking up on you. love and hugs and kisses. H

The Bunkster.

I heard of your committment and desire to get better from our great family friends, the Trauts.

You are an amazing inspiration to all of us.

Keep up the hard work and know that you are in the Quinn family prayers tonight!!

Jack, Darlene, Ryan, and Alyssa.

Hey Bunk - Sorry I will not be able to make the golf tourney but I did go online and bought a few raffle tickets. I would much rather be out there in the warm sun, instead I will probably be digging out from more snow! Next time we come back to visit CA I will definitely get in touch and stop by and say Hi.
Take care.

John

BUNK,
What is up? It was great to seee you at the reunion, although by that point I think I was seeing double (damn pomegranite martinis!) Anyway, it wasn't until then that I was informed I was on the MIA list and found out about all of these great events in your honor. The golf tourney sounds like so much fun it makes me wish I could golf, but I'll be there for the dinner. I look forward to catching up with you as well as reminiscing about the St. Norbert's days, like when Mrs. Abbas sent you to the principal's office because you refused to go by the name Alec...lol. See you soon, Debbi (Bormann)

Hey Bunk,

Hope you remember me from Fullerton. I added the pictue to jog your memory. Hope it doesn't scare you too much. I am friends with Kevin(and you of course) and we all partied quite a bit back in high school. Anyway, when I talk with Kev, he always lets me know how you are doing. He says that you have the best attitude ever. That is so inspiring. I think of you often and will keep you in my prayers. And I will try my best to live by your motto. Love you tons. Jules

Wat up? Looking forward to the Golf dinner. Can you fix it so I win another great door prize?
I bet your spending more time in the tipsy.Why not. It's a very comfortable setting.
Rosie and I are deep into the grandkids '09 baseball season.
Scotty is really into cycling. He's using Randy's, his dad, Bianchi. I've ridden with him a few times. He has to really slow down for me.
We had another waffle's at Bolsa last Sunday. We'll let you know next time and maybe you all can make it. It was warm and sunny this time and that makes it very nice. Mike and friends cook up pounds of sausage and bacon and I do the waffles. Fun and tasty.
Gotta go. Michael's game tonight. See you at the Golf course.....Uncle Phil

My thoughts and prayers are with you, my friend.

Bunk, A friend of yours- Kevin-just made me aware of your accident. I am sending good wishes and will pray for you tonight. Sincerely, Lynne Barry

Bunkarellis!

I got an email for your golf tournament and wanted to say hello. Ha ha, I found pictures of you passed out on the floor at the 7th St apt. and your famous line? " I never sleep, just pass out." fun times. Well I have a new puppy, Milo, he's "Haute Dog of the Week" for Belmont Shore" and I thought you'd enjoy it as much as I did. Geez, you would have thought I won the lottery when I found it Milo won. But Miss Rosalyn (you remember Roz, rigt? just had a baby girl, so she trumped me. Madalyn born Feb 11th.

Anyway, just wanted to send some love your way! Muah!

Sarina

Hello
I am a class mate of your sister Erica. I must have been living under a rock for the last 3 years because I just learned of your situation. Although, I think its interesting that I would learn of it today.
I had to write to say that you inspire me. Your strength and courage are tremendously encouraging. I am sure that many folks have said that our Lord never gives us more than we can handle..so, obviously you are one amazing child of God...
You will be in my prayers and I will do whatever I can to support you.

Hey Bunkster:

I wanted to send you a card as I am aware of what today is for you but I have been laid up in bed since Sunday with this crazy flu.
I will never forget the call from Sue Kent telling me of what had happend. Geez, look how far you have come my friend!
If I have not told you I will tell you now; you are my life mentor and I thank you every day for the courage you give me and keeping life in perspective for me.
I am unable to attend your golf tournament this year, but I have your info posted all over my facebook page and I know that Traut sent out an email for everyone to do the same. The picture I attached is my profile pict
Please send my love and "hello's" to the family for me. I hope you all are well and know that you are a constant in my thoughts.

Miss You,
Bean

Bunk,
I am already taking "ADVIL" to help with the pain I plan on having on March 17th. I am excited that all of the Butler Boys will once again get together and share St. Patty's Day with you and your family. Hope alll is well, I will call you next week!

See ya!
Charlie "LUCKY"

Bunk,

It was great to see you last weekend (well 10 days ago, but I am often late)in San Diego. Peat the dog of course did not make it but used as a pic instead of myself. I did not eat your hat on last visit to AZ.

You looked good, glad you saw some good rugby and I'll let you know next time I am in S. Cal. It is not too often. I am liking it here in Phoenix, next year maybe we can talk you out here for an Angels spring training game.

Sean

Good Morning Cousin Bunk,

Just wanted to wish you and the family a Happy Friday. Hope your week went well.
Hopefully, you will be able to enjoy the warm weather we are supposed to have this weekend.

I'm working on some yearbook pages today for our 1st grade classes. This is a perfect job for me, because I enjoy being creative and productive at the same time!!! It also helps my productivity when the boys are at school.

Well cuz, have a great weekend and we hope to see you very soon.

"My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents, and I lay them both at his feet." Mahatma Ghandi

Love and prayers, Lori, Mike, Michael, and Jimmy

Bunkster:

Sorry I missed the party up in the Tipsy. What a great turn out. Nice to see so many people there for your bht..
Even with the rain, it's still great to live in So. Cal.
I know how anxious you are to move into the Tipsy. Who is going to keep your Mom and Dad on the straight and narrow?
Maybe you'll have to hire someone to keep an eye on them.
Looking forward to the next big event.
See ya....U P

I just learned about your accident after Tony Kuypers gave me the club website. The clubs I support in England, Bath Rugby and Leicester Tigers have players who have suffered neck injuries. The rugby world gathers round, and the injured players display a spirit that humbles.
You are well, you are amongst friends.

Dear Bunk,

I want you to know that you'll be in my thoughts and prayers. You were always willing to give me a hand at St. Norbert's and Servite. I always thought highly of you. I wish you the best. Take care and God Bless!

Joe Salazar

Hi Bunk, Sally, and Red
Even the rain cannot keep people from gathering at your home and enjoying your family. Your birthday celebration was great. I love attending functions for/with you.
Love and prayers to you.
Sheila
