Dear Lee,Matt,Debbie and families,

We always considered Brud as part of our extended family for many years up on the "hill". We felt he was our personal plumber, carpenter and all-around handyman. He was someone Dad and Mom could always count on in any kind of emergency whatever the weather or the problem. We missed him when he had to leave the "hill", and will always have fond memories of him.With sympathy to all of you.

Dear Lee, Matt, Debbie & families,
We have many fond memories of "Brud" We think he could fix anything. He was great to our families as neighbors for so many years. One of our memories was when he built our first deck for us, it was also his first one to build. If I told him about something that didn't look quite right to me, he'd just smile and say "oh, the people in New York will never see that. " He was right they never did and the deck served us well for nearly 30 years. Our thoughts and prayers will be with all of your families in the days and weeks to come. May good memories sustain you and may God Bless you all,
Georgia (Ketler) & Dave Clapper

Brud and I worked on a house I was building in Canal Fulton years ago and I still chuckle thinking of what a character he was...quite unique. We had a lot of laughs together.

Very sorry to hear of his passing.

Dear Lee, Matt, and Debbie,
We recall the good times living on Streby Street and having your parents as our neighbors. We are so sorry that you have lost them both in such a short time period. May your memories sustain you during this time of sadness.
