What a wonderful man. We remember Bud so fondly from our days at Calvary Covenant Church. Singing in the choir, various Bible studies, fellowships and lots of laughs. Bud was a wonderful family man, husband, friend and a great man of integrity. He will be missed. With regrets, Tom and Beth Guarneri

We were so sad to read of Bill's passing. He was such a kind man who loved his family. I will always remember 2 special people who came to our restaurant regularly. How I enjoyed talking to you both. Our sympathy to you, Linda and the whole family from the Hortons.
