I remember Buddy as someone with a hacking cough, but that didn't slow him down. He always had a smile, and a terrific outlook on life. I'll never forget Buddy.

The only person I knew that was related to Buddy was his son Hugh. To Hugh I simply say this - follow your dads path of the life he led. Knowing Buddy over the last few years I would say that he was a man of integrity. There was no question he will be greatly missed. If we had more men like Buddy this world would better a better place. My biggest regret of his leaving us was I didn't get to spend more time with him. In closing I can truly say I'm a better man having known my good friend Buddy.

There are not words to properly say about Buddy he told it like it was. He was REAL. his humor was something else, even after he got sick he would call my office from time to time with something funny. He was a true testament that you could turn your life around if you had the courage to do so. Ally, we will be thinkig about you and your family and praying that God will in his time ease your sorrow.
