It was wonderful getting to spend time with you and my grandma Elmar over lunch or during one of your jam sessions. I especially enjoyed your stories of the Good old days :) What a Beautiful life

I just got back from a monthlong work trip to Africa to find this out. Bud and I became friends on Whidbey when he and Lu lived in Freeland, and I in Maxwelton. It was wonderful to hear his recollections of a lifetime in minor league ball so clearly and warmly recalled. (I hope the Dog House in Langley still has his picture from when he was with the Toronto Maple Leafs on the wall.)
He and Lu were wonderful, warm, and loving people. It was a privilege to know them.

My condolences to the family and thanks Bud for all the great memories of that great 1956 season in Visalia when I spent much of it at Recreation Park watching you play the game I love so much.--Bob Bowen, formerly of Tulare, CA, and now in Los Lunas, New Mexico

Joe I had not seen Bud since his move to
Washington to be close to Joe-son, I often think of Bud and wondered how he was doing. I met Bud when he worked to the sheltered workshop for the handicapped and I worked at CVRC in Visalia. Bud had a great life and was a great man and DAD! Will be missed.

Sounds like a wonderful man. It also sounds like Mr. Heslet would have been in baseball circles with my uncle Larry "Lefty" Powell of the Dinuba, Reedley area. Some of the things mentioned in the obituary sound like the same things Larry did, even the interuption for military service. I am almost sure that they would have been good friends. Larry kept in touch with many of the area baseball professionals of that era. These were great men, men of the greatest generation. May God bless and comfort the family in your loss.

Bud, I didn't know you but have heard many good things about you, being a great voice in the Fun Band here on Whidbey where I now spend a fare amount of my time singing with the band. It's my loss I didn't know you, I guess I got here too late. Members of the group will be paying tribute to you today at the CMA Church in Langley and will be singing Amazing Grace and When the Saints Go Marching In. Wishing you save passage to the afterlife.

We send our condolences to the family. Bud was one of my favorite people. Always loving and kind. A big heart in a big man. Our love, Lori Cabello Charles and Margaret Cabello.
