Dear Mark & Carl:
We were sad to hear about the passing of Bud or "Seagrave" as his close friends called him....Ray worked with him at Drapers and West Hill and remained friends all through the years. He always called us the last 3 yrs.we've lived in TN to check on us when he heard of tornado or storm warnings. We visited him when we were up in NE and was always glad to see him....he loved you boys and talked about you always. The world has lost a very special person.....
Our sincere sympathy.

Sorry for your loss. I worked with Gordon at Lampin for a year or two around '96/'97. He was a great person, full of life and stories galore. I enjoyed staying a after hours just to listen. To this day I still think of him each time I jot down a note in my little note book.
Again, sorry for your loss.

It was a joy to sit with him at the lunch table at the Uxbridge Senior Center.He was a good conversationalist from whom I learned much about this area. I delighted in his stories of successfully receiving autographs from celebrities. I will miss him at the Center, but will recall his presence and friendship as we gather around the lunch table.

Dear Carl and Mark,
I was very saddened to hear about your dad's passing. He will be greatly missed by all of his friends and buddies at the Senior Center. I will miss his "gruff" greeting each time I saw him. I could see through his serious exterior and could see a very caring person. He was very proud of both of you and talked about you often. Please accept my deepest condolences.

So sorry to hear of Gordon's passing.. I became acquainted with Gordon at our Uxbridge Senior Center... Although he was a quiet man, he had many friends there and was always pleasant and sociable; smiling even when he didn't feel well.. He always sat at the same table, next to ours with his "pals".... His empty chair is a somber reminder that we have lost a very special friend.. We will continue to remember him during our "moment of silence"... each day..Rest in Peace Gordon---we miss you!!----
