Travis, I am Bud 's daughter. Max was one of my daddy's good friends. The whole Berkshire family sends you and your family our sincere condolences. I can just imagine Max and Bud's reunion. They sure liked to joke around and cut up! Thanks for your personal
friendship. Max was a help to Daddy and I enjoyed his jokes too! I know how happy he is to be reunited with your Mom as well. Take care.
