Rest in Peace Bubba.

PS: I still love those easy open cans.

I really liked him in the Police Academy movies. And he was great in the Miller Light commercials. Here's my favorite one with him and Dick Butkus.

God speed Bubba!

Officer Hightower will be missed.

It saddens me that his death got so little coverage...especially compared to that Winehouse woman...from all reports, and my recollections as a kid, he was a good football player, a decent guy, and helped make some movies and shows a little more memorable. Rest in Peace, Mr. Smith.
