Our sincere sympathy to Nancy, Helen, Charles and Jeff on the loss of their father and to the many, many people who were touched by Uncle Bud’s love of life and his wonderful sense of humor.  He was a genuine joy to know and he will be missed by everyone who knew him.  We will always love and never forget him.

How can we say Good Bye to an Uncle who was the dearest, kindest and most wonderful man?  Uncle Bud will be truly missed by his family and friends.  He was one of a kind — always had a story and you were never sure if it was true or not –great imagination.  The Pa. Lottery will miss his business as he enjoyed playing this to pass the time.  He missed my dear Aunt Sis and know they are once again together with God in Heaven.  May he rest in peace until we all meet again.  Loved you truly Uncle Bud
