I will miss his stories about the past in the Navy, his stories learning how to fly a plane, his love for flying a plane (it's as if Bud was telling how a "bird" would feel and how wonderful it IS) . Bud was a wonderful co-worker.
A select few of us gave "Bud" a hard time harassing him; but as good a natured as he was, "he put up with US!"

"Happy Flying my friend Bud!!" Love you and will always cherish your memories!!
