Bud was a great father to my wife Nancy, father-in-law to me, and grandfather to our 3 children. He was a kind and gentle man, who just wanted a sweet treat now and then. Between his wife of 69 years, hundreds of students, and his many children, grand children, and even a great great grandchild (!), he will be greatly missed. The world is a better place because of him. You can seep sound with all the love you bring with you.

Mr. Cetone was my fourth grade teacher at Orchard Park, he was a very nice teacher and made me feel so comfortable after moving from Waynesville to Kettering in the middle of my Fourth Grade year. He made sure I found friends fast. I really enjoyed his personality and he was a great teacher. My prayers are with him and his family.

It's your "Baby Girl" Nancy. I love you so very much - always and forever. You are the best father that anyone could ever ask for, as well as the best role model. You raised me well and passed your legacy of being a teacher on to me. Thank you so much for everything that you have done for me throughout my whole life. I love you and you are now my special guardian angel who went home to be with the Lord after living a well-lived life here on earth. I hoped that Heaven is everything you ever dreamed it would be, and more!
Love, Your Baby Girl, Nancy
