Not sure what to say?

Uncle Buddy accepted me into his family with open arms, always warm and friendly, interested in whatever Jerry and I were doing. An honor to know him, a devoted father and brother.

Buddy was a good man and a wonderful father. We will miss him so very much. We sure do wish we could be there.

I will remember Uncle Buddy as a fun loving person with a great sense of humor. My prayers are with you, Aunt Christine, and your family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I am so sorry to learn of Uncle Buddy's passing. He was always full of life and had good stories to tell. My thoughts and prayers will be with Christine, the children, and all the family during this sad time.

I'll always remember that Uncle Buddy gave me my very first ride in an airplane. Not long after our family moved to Georgia, he offered to take us up in his Piper airplane. We flew over Atlanta and north Georgia, all the way to my parents' house in Cartersville. It was a wonderful experience! My love and prayers to all the family.

We all loved Uncle Buddy so very much. He was always there for us. He could (and did!) fix anything. He found our family home for us when we were moving to Atlanta. He was always there for the big stuff too, birthdays, graduations... His laugh was infectous. We will miss him so but be proud to carry his memory in our hearts and share him with our children and grandchildren. God bless you, Uncle Buddy

He was a wonderful father and we will miss him dearly. He died doing what he loved to do.( Fixing things) He always had a project. Love you Daddy!

Beautiful tribute. I am so glad that Grandpa passed without suffering. He was richly blessed and he will be missed. Love you all.
