Bud was our dear friend and will be greatly missed. His sense of humor was a very cherished part of his memory. Our deepest sympathy to Carol and family
I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Bud. He was a very caring man who was always there when we called. It is my prayer that God bring you peace and strength through this.
I just want to extend my sympathy to all the family. Bud was a very precious man who I thought a great deal of. He was always so kind to my whole family. We will greatly miss him, but our pain will not equal the pain of losing your husband, father, grandfather, brother, etc… Just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Christa, Shawn, Rebekah, and Daniel
