Carmel, Tony and family - I just received
an e-mail from Jo Ann about Bud's passing. It seems only yesterday when
you celebrated your anniversary when
Bob and I delivered the poem to Tony.
You have our deepest sympathy in your
loss. God's peace shall be with you
through this loss.
Carmel, Tony and family: Just received word from JoAnn about Bud's passing. So sorry to hear this news. Seems only yesterday I prepared your
anniversary poem for you and Bud. You have our deepest sympathy in your loss. Shirley and Bob McCullum
Sorry for your loss Mrs.Backert, and Tony and Family...he was a treat to have met.
Tony, Sherrie, Rachel, Colin,
I will most assuredly miss Bud. He was very special to me and would go out of his way to stop and talk, especially about UL/UK rivelry. I will miss his special toast at Flabby's but know that I will continue his toast tradition at Check's with Monty. Remember that you all are loved and thought of at this time of your need. Take care, Love Ya'll.
Carmel,
Bud will be missed by all that met him. He was a very special person loved by all. I will cherish our funfilled UL/UK banter. Take care and know that you are loved especially at this time of need.
Carmel, I am so sorry for your loss. When I worked in the office for Sister Georgeann, I saw your and Bud's selfless hard work to ensure a better future for the children & young adults of the Cerebral Palsy School. May your faith & memories & family bring you comfort.
Cherishing a life well lived, remembering all the laughter and good times. Bud will always be in my thoughts and loved dearly!

Carmel, Tony, Sherrie, Rachel and Colin - - -
May God give you peace and strength. Bud is in a much better place - probably giving God advice on a basketball or football game.
