Words cannot express how very much we appreciate all of your kindness, flowers and words of support during this most difficult time.
Heartfelt thanks to John Ducker for his touching tribute to Buddy in the Glovebox section of his column in the Times Colonist. His words filled our hearts with memories of laughter and love for a man who touched so many lives.

I am sorry to hear of Buddy's passing, I worked with him for years at B.C. Transit. There was always fun and laughter when Buddy was around. He did the Esquimalt route for a very long time. He always fed the one legged seagull and sprayed down the "Articles" when they boarded his bus.
I look forward to hooking up with you again in that Coffee Shop in the beyond.

I am sorry to hear of Buddy's passing, I worked with him at BC Transit and Buddy was a true character in the Bull Pen. There was always fun and laughter when he was around. He would always feed the one legged sea gull at Dockyard and spray down the "Articles" when they boarded his bus.
Fairwell my friend we will meet again.

Buddy was one of my line trainers when I started driving at BC Transit in 1988. He loved the passengers and they loved him .
A very nice gentleman he will be missed.
