I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Buddy was a special soul - tough on the outside but such a softie on the inside. Working with him always made the day brighter. I am praying for your family to find peace in the coming times. So sorry we lost such a special man!

Buddy worked in Charlottesville Va at the Daily Progress and that when I first met buddy. He worked with my brother Harry Jones for about 40 years. I know most of his family but will be unable to attend services Sat due to my health. I live in Charlottesville and unable to drive that far. Buddy was a great guy and I always enjoyed talking to him. I hope the lord will look over his family and I will say a special pray for him and his family
