To All of You, There are no words to describe how I felt when I learned of "Buds'" death yesterday afternoon. I have lost, as each of you have, someone that was most instrumental in my younger years development. I will never forget all the good times and how many times he would see me out and around town and he always would stop whatever piece of equipment he was in and holler; "Come here boy." Bud had time for this kid and a bunch more. Years later when he visited my home in Alabama he proudly told everyone around that he thought he had lost this kid but he had found him again. Bud was fun and Bud was more. I'll remember him for all he did for me over the years; including giving me one of the best friends I ever had, Betty. Just like each of you, I will miss him, matter of fact there are a lot of questions I would like to ask him right now. If I ever told any of you anything over time that stuck with you please remember this; Time will be your best friend and I really believe that. If I can do anything please just ask.
