I lost my Dad thanksgiving morning. My heart is brooken. A man that didn't have to love me, truely loved three kids that weren't even his. Anyone that knew him said he was the real deal. My hope in life now, is to find someone that would love me as much as he loved my mother and his kids. God knows we've been blessed by the love of this wonderful man. I will forever miss him and he will always be in my heart. Always & Forever His Doughter Dixie

It is with a heavy heart that circumstances prevent me from being there with the family as they lay "Uncle Bud" to rest but please know that I will be there with you in spirit. I hope that my words will be some comfort to the family when I say that I think the best compliment you can pay to someone is that the world was a better place because they existed. That is the case with Bud in that his quick wit would always brighten someone's day. He will be greatly missed for those of us who remain on earth but he is in a better place and hopefully God will bless us all so that some day we might be reunited with our dear friend.
