Not sure what to say?

Bud was truly a great friend of ours. I am going to miss visiting with him on Tuesday mornings and running cars with him at Bauer. He always put a smile on our faces. Bud we will see you in heaven! Love, Kenny and Donna

Rest in peace bud, the man with the "BEST" damn garage in town.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember boating, Brown Derby, car races and many more memories with Bud. Keep your memories close to your hearts. May Bud Rest In Peace.
Love, Kathie OBrien Costa.

Oh the good times we had. Now you are with your Bro (John) and the good times can start again! RIP my friend!

Bud was a good friend and next door neighbor of my parents. I remember hearing his race cars and being with my dad in buds garage many times.
I'll cherish the memories of him and his family forever. Rest in peace.

My thoughts and prayers to the family, Bud was a great guy and I was so sorry to hear this news. He was always there to help us out in a pinch and I will miss him terribly. Our days here at Arnie Bauer will never be the same.

Our thoughts and prayers to the family.
