Dear Donna,

Please accept my condolences on the passing of Buddy. He served as a mentor to many of us who worked with him in the Fire Service. He was a true example of hard work and dedication, but more importantly a true friend. My prayers are with you all.

To my dearest friend: My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult and sorrowful time. It is the happiest memories of Buddy that will sustain you. I can still remember when Mom and Dad gave you a baby goat and when we finally noticed it gone, it was on top of Buddy's car. It still brings a smile to my face. Buddy is finally at peace and pain free. Love will all my heart, Pam

Sincerest condolences and sympathy to the family of "Buddy" Davis from Gene and Lee Casey. Buddy was a great mainstay of the Athletic Express' Lunch Bunch for many years and a friend to all the players. Just as he mourned our constant traveling companion, Roger McShea, two years ago, so we will all mourn his loss today. He was a true and constant friend.
