Another year without your laugh. Rest in peace my friend

Buddy was my best friend as teenagers. Such great intelligence with that winning smile! So many memories! We rode his Harley to the Jersey shore, doing trick dives and flips into the muddy Tom's River. That lucky day we both somehow missed being impaled on a steel spike we found just under the surface where we had been diving. He visited in New Hampshire, even filling in in my band. We caught up on the phone a few years ago when I sent him my cd top 10 hit in Australia. I miss him. My...

My condolences to Sue and family. Bud was a client and a good guy. I'll remember our bowling nights and all the other good times with the old Town Pub crew. I'll miss him greatly.

Uncle Bud, I have admired you for the way you could enter a room and entertain whoever was in it. Also, for the talent you carried musically and with your vocals. I have so many fond memories in my childhood especially at Prospect ave and the parties at Whittingham. I will miss you like my Dad and Uncle Joe and hope that someday we will all be together again to continue where these memories will be temporarily left off. Aunt Sue and Buddy, Mom and Aunt Marilyn we love you and sorry for your...

Bud and I go way back to the sixties. I have too many great memories of the good times I spent with Buddy to mention for the many years we hung out back then. He was the organist in the band we formed in 1966 and we even recorded a demo record with the band. He was truly a talented guy in so many ways. Always full of life and fun. I am very sad to hear of his passing. My heart, love and prayers go out to Sue and his family.
May God bless and keep him.
