To meet Uncle Bud was to meet an almost perpetual smile. He laughed quietly which then only exagerated his smile.

Bud Hardy was quite a guy. He and Sis helped my husband and me so much, when we began to square dance. He loved dancing, Sis, and his family. I never remember Bud having a bad word to say about anyone. He was truly a wonderful man and very much fun to be with. Bill and I will sincerely miss Bud.
