I worked with Buddy at the Post Office at Melrose. I had just started in '88 and I remember what a great worker he was. I am a better carrier because of Buddy.

Looking at this picture is the way I so remember Buddy. What a great Angel God has received. You will be missed by so many as you have touched so many.

Buddy was one of my best friends. Buddy and Marie came to SC to visit several time and one of those times we went to Atlanta to see their favorite Baseball teams the Cubbies.
We enjoyed our times together and this will be missed so much. A great person very helpful at all times.
