I only judge folks by the children that they put out there on the Earth because that is my "100 year test" of truth in the world.
Bud passes and Charley passes by being one of those people you could always count on.
Thanks be to God for the life and service and legacy of one of the "Good Guys".

Knox County and Halls have lost a fine man this year and one that will long be remembered for his exploits - as well as even the smallest kindnesses he has shown throughout his entire life. He apparently realized his talents were God-given and God-inspired, but his faith (choosing to believe in God and himself), his willingness to train hard, his determination, and perseverance helped bring him to the top. I was a younger first cousin (on his mother's side), so really mostly saw him from a...

Bud called me on the phone last fall; he had taken the time to track me down in Atlanta, where I have lived since 1966. Bud wanted to tell me that I had inspired him to become a hurdler (his father had been a champion high jumper). I was four years ahead of Bud in school and I went to Fulton, but it was my state record in the low hurdles that he broke when he was a senior at East.

My sophomore year in high school I broke my back in a warehouse accident. When I was able to get back on my feet the best therapy mentally and physically I received was, Bud taking me out to the Halls High track and walking with me. Heaven has received a true gift. He was one of the greatest men I ever knew, and it was an honor to have been his friend.
