Lorene, Eileen, Buddy and Family,
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you. I got to know Bud from working for Mrs. Clouse (Eileen) and we would get together and tell stories and laugh. Most of all eating candy. He was a wonderful man and Bud will be missed by all that knows him. If I can do anything to help please call me. All of you are in my Prayers.

Lorene,
We will surely miss Bud. He was one the nicest men I have known. I enjoyed working with him and getting to know his family. He will always hold a special place in my heart. I am happy that Eileen had a chance to visit and get to know both of you. He had a great sense of humor. We are sorry that we can't be with you during this time as we are in London.
With deepest sympathy,
