Carol - I sent you a card but it was returned today. Apparently, I had the wrong address. I was so sorry to learn of Buddy's passing. He was one of my all-time favorite people.

I was so sorry to hear about Buddy passing away. He was one of the kindest men I knew. He had a great compassion for others and went above and beyond to help someone in need. God bless his family during this time and please know that Buddy left behind a wonderful legacy and in my heart will never be forgotten.
