My Uncle Bud, one of the best men I have ever known for many reasons. Can't really believe it; don't want to believe it. This man is already missed by so many. Love you Uncle Bud.

My heart just aches for his family and his TPSC family members. Walter was a class act. A remarkable man - he touched many lives. What a great loss of all of us.

Dearest Debra,
Such a sad day in all of our lives. Bud was a great husband, father and friend to many. I remember going to your wedding and thinking what a perfect couple, how lucky you were to have found each other. The quote from Jerry McGuire is so true of your relationship" You complete me". Since then together you and Bud have constantly and consistently looked up and moved forward as one.
Please find comfort in the memory of such an accomplished life, and his ever giving spirit.

Debra, I truly believe only the good die young and Bud was one of the best. I envy the love you two so obviously shared, it was always shining in your eyes together. Bud has given us all times to remember through all his fabulous stories that always made one smile. He will be missed by all.

Mr.Bud, how we miss you already. All of the superb words written about you are certainly true and you will always be fondly remembered.
My husband, Gene Bates, and I were so fortunate to be able to participate in many trips, in the U.S. and Europe, with Bud and his wife, Debra. Debra was so wonderfully paired with Bud. They loved each other with the kindest, most beautiful union that we have ever seen. She always seemed to be his champion and he hers.
We attended the couple's wedding which we still talk about to this day. A loving relationship did then begin and to see them interact was truly a blessing.
Our upmost love and condolences are offered up to Bud's extended family and friends galore. Of course, you all are experiencing such grief but we pray that you will always remember his wonderful ways, his ability to always make a person feel important and never miss a chance to sneak in one of his humorous stories as well as showing his emotion through his hugs and shaking of hands that went for what seemed to be forever.
I will close this tribute to Bud Winzen with special love and never-ending respect for the wonderful woman who always felt blessed to be his wife. Let us all hold her up in the spirit of positive love and grace as she will experience such sad feelings. We do and always will consider her a special friend whom may call upon us at any time and for any reason.
Mr. Bud, as you make this last journey may you feel the Love we feel for you always and we will carry on your legacy with conversation of your stellar life as you were always sought out to have fun with or be serious with. The Lord has his work cut out for him because Bud will arrive with a story to tell. May God bless you and keep you in his care.

Debra, I am so sorry to hear that Walter is no longer with you, your family and the many, many friends and acquaintances that Walter had. I have known Walter since the St. Louis Railway Supply days and through the years as a customer and most importantly as a friend.I always enjoyed conversation with Walter at the many meetings we attended and especially working with him on the Southwest Signal Engineers Meeting.He will be missed. Take care.

Budrow, I'm going to miss you and your long, long, long stories. Also, thanks for helping to make me a better gin player. To Debra, you made Bud a better man by being his partner in business and life.

Debra, the last time I saw the two of you at Silver Ball you were being so sweet to your husband I could see the love emanating from your eyes when you looked at him. I know you will miss him greatly, as we all will at all the Arthritis Foundation events that the two of you devoted so much of your time. I salute the memory of a wonderful man.
