Not sure what to say?

Helllo Gloria & Family Not sure what made me think of you and Bud, maybe because we shared so many laughs and time together. Although, it was in a restaurant, it was still memorable. Sorry for the loss of Bud, he was truly a great man. I hope you are well and enjoying the grand children. Maybe Daniel can take you to Dedham Square the Big Bear Cafe and make a visit. Donna Figs

I have just read about the tremendous life Bud today as a young ambitious doctor. Bud lived everything I wish for and adored his family. My deepest condolences to his family for such a great loss. I am grateful for the lessons that I am learning from this great guy long after his passing and I must say he is my role model. May his soul rest in God's eternal peace.

Hello Gloria,
Not sure why I thought about you and Bud this morning - the google search brought me to the sad news about Bud. It was so sad to read. I hope you are well and enjoying the grandchildren. Donna Menna Figs Restaurant

I am sorry to hear of his passing.As a med student I used his book and he was one of my heroes.Sadly I never had chance to meet him.It sounds like we shardd many things in common.Thasnks for teaching us so much.May his memory be a blessing.

Thank you to all who noted Bud's passing, and remember him with affection; we miss him terribly, and hold his love in our hearts.

Bud was a wonderful guy and Gloria is equally as wonderful. I think of them often and remember how much fun I had hiking with them in New Mexico. I have no doubt the world is a better place for having had Bud in the medical field with Gloria at his side. May he fly with the angels. I love you, Gloria. ♥

I was Buddy's other roomate (actually suitemate) for our last two years at Princeton. We were born the same year (1942), I had lived in Forest Hills next to Queens, we played and loved sports but were both less than varsity material, and, looking back, I think we were both immature even for our ages at the time. We were different but also very much alike in many ways. I had always intended to catch up with Buddy at some point - but that was almost sixty years ago. Very sadden to hear this...

Buddy, as he was known then, was my close buddy at Princeton from 1959-63. I was, and am, a Californian; he introduced to the part of New York that wasn't Midtown Manhattan. I'd only seen him once in the last half century, but he hadn't changed a whit. The world, and I, will miss him.

THANK YOU FOR KEEPING OUR MINDS ALWAYS BUSY FOR HEALTH
