Albert Richard "Bud" Stafford

For some reason this morning Bud came to my mind and I Googled Bud's name. I am so sorry for your families loss, Bud was a wonderful man and true friend. Blessings and peace to your family.

We have known Bud for the past 25 years. He has designed quite a few pieces of fine jewelry for us and fixed an unknown amount. He was a true friend as well as an excellent jeweler. He will be greatly missed. Best of wishes to his family.

Thanks for being my friend Bud, wish we could have met sooner. My thoughts and prayers go out to you Kathy and family. May God Bless and keep you all during this difficult time. You were a "True Friend!"

Bud mounted several large silver capped turkey beards for me. I treasure them.

We're so sorry for your loss of a great man, Kathy and the boys. Bud taught my son, the late John Brink, how to become a well respected jeweler and support a family. My daughters fondly remember babysitting for your wonderful boys. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Love, Sally Brink and family

Thanks for the wonderful silversmith lessons and all of our nice conversations. We cherish the fond memories.

Bud was one of the good guys. He will be missed.

My favorite rings are the 2 that Bud designed for me. I always think of him when I wear them which is almost daily. One of my best memories of Bud is the day this southern raised man spoke to me in perfect Spanish. He shared with me that he didn't often get to practice the language but was a dedicated student. I loved Bud for the rugged individualist he was. My sympathy and prayers to Kathy and sons.

Bud and I hunted together and took motorcycle trips for 30 years. He was a true friend and was like a brother to me. A piece of my life is gone forever.
