May you find comfort in friendship, hope in prayer and peace in love. Bud was my Godfather, may he rest in peace. With Sincere Sympathy.

I can vaguely remember meeting Bud several years ago, but since that time I have spoken with Bud on the phone several times. He was always pleasant to speak with even when he was very sick. Bud surely must have been a wonderful man, since he was fortunate enough to marry a wonderful woman like Delores.

May God hold and keep Bud safe in his hands, he will be missed.
