I am so sorry to hear of Bud's passing. My brothers and I shared the best years of our childhoods living across the street from the Keeslings, in the 1960's in Kensington. So many fond memories and home movies of Bud and Laura, Nancy, Danny and Patty.

Bud was a warm and loving man. My heart goes out to his family. I wish we could be there to express our sorrow.

I will always fondly remember how much you enjoyed listening to Beethoven, and the sparkle in your eye when talking about how you learned to dance to meet your beloved. Rest in peace, Mr. K. You will be missed.

I love you, Dad.
