To Bob & Toni, Ernie &Joanie and families and all of Buds relatives. I can picture Uncle Bud standing in Bob & Toni's kitchen when Jason & Dana were so very tiny. We had them trapped in one room (with a baby gate) so we could paint and Bud would come in and play with them all the while instructing us how to paint correctly with that teasing grin on his face. He was a very kind soul and will never be forgotten. my thoughts and prayers are with you all......kjg
