Burdette A. Ogle

Bud, one of the finest men I ever knew, majored in Geology at U.C. Berkeley starting in 1937, while at the same time I majored in Mining Engineering. Mining required many courses in geology, so I met Bud early in our careers. In fact, my fraternity was next door to his. When the war came, Bud went into the Marines, while a heart murmer kept me out of the war and I became a mining engineer for a small copper mine in Arizona for three years, then, for the last year of the war, a geologist...

My Uncle Bud embodied the spirit of the 20th century – brave, industrious, successful, and smart. He was an Ogle through and through. His Scottish determination and his will to move mountains was as much a part of him as the beating of his heart. He was my mother’s big brother and the two of them were so alike. She loved him very much and I knew he loved her too. I so admired and loved my Uncle Bud. When I was small he churned the freezer for my first taste of homemade ice cream,...

We have never met Bud but our condolences go out to all those he touched in his life. We know Flint and his family and think the world of them. We are so sorry for your loss.

I have spent 26 years in the business and only for the last nine did I have the opportunity to meet and know Bud. Not knowing him for the first 15 years was my loss. He was a true gentlemen whose friendship and handshake meant everything. I will miss being unable to speak with him. I know God has blessed him.

Bud was one of a kind. We will miss him greatly.

Our wise Uncle Bud was the patriarch of our family for many years. Loved dearly by his sister, Maralee and her children and grand-children. We all felt so welcome at Aunt Jean and Uncle Bud's home. We will miss him.
