Uncle Bud will be missed by all, he always made time for you, even if he didn't really have the time. His great love of family was evident at family gatherings , making sure he talked to everyone. His face lit up when he was around his grandkids and I think he was about his happiest with them. The clock will slowly tick by and one day, we all will be together again in the Heavens above, until then, we will miss Uncle Bud

Mary and family so sorry for your loss, Hugs and Prayers!
I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR OF BUDDY'S PASSING. mY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU MARY.
Mary, I am so sorry for your loss
Its only been two days but I miss the crap out of you grandpa. Just the thought of you being gone makes me tear up. You weren't just my grandpa you were my friend the one I came to talk about life problems and you always had an answer and made me feel better. Who am I supposed to come talk and brag about fishing to ? Nobody cared or at least tried to like you did. I don't want it to be so but I guess this is life and we gotta take the good and the bad. Just promise to always look out for us down here.
Mary and family,
Remembering Bud as a kind and giving man. God bless all of you.. Thinking of you today and in all the days to come.
