Dear Buz, Sue, Judy, Clint, Taryn, Jillian and all family and friends, We are so very sorry about the loss of Bud. We enjoyed our times together and have such wonderful memories. A true Gentleman, who was happy, kind, and always made us chuckle! An honorable man who never changed. He will truly be very missed and always remembered. With our Sincere Sympathy and Love...

My memories are not of specific events but of a dad with a warm smile, a hardy hello, plenty teasing and laughing, expectations of good behavior, and always kindness and caring. He was a great man! Proverbs 20:7 It is a wonderful heritage to have an honest father.

We have many fond memories of Bud, a man who loved his family, friends and firefighter brothers. Our favorite memory was watching him play cat and mouse games with camera-shy Florence -- happily trying to take photos of her at family gatherings. He was always full of fun and had quick smiles for us all. It was so obvious how much he enjoyed being with his family and how much he adored his beautiful granddaughters. We know Taryn and Jillian realize how lucky they were to have had two wonderful grandfathers in their lives for such a long time. We will miss his kind and gentle spirit. We will miss his fun-loving nature. We will miss sitting by him at the dinner table. We will simply, just miss him.
