Edmund J. Brabants

Not a day goes by that I dont think of Buddy. He was so much fun and always getting everyone together for cookouts, dinner, drinks ... his passing has left a hole in my heart ... however, the memory of his smile and laugh always brings warmth to my soul.

To the Brabants Family,

I knew "Buddy" very well as a supplier to Steego and a warehouse competitor in Boston. He was a very kind and fair person and one heck of a lot of fun. My condolences for your loss!

Sincerely yours,

Marie, Michael, Lisa and Mathew,
Gayle and I just learned of Bud's passing tonight. Bud was a favorite person who we have so many fond memories of. His charming personality, great smile and love of life are such that we will never forget him.

Bud had a way of always making you feel good about a situation regardless of how difficult and painful it may have been. He was a joy to work with and brought much enthusiasm to anything he undertook. He will be sadly missed by all who had...

We wish to express our sorrow of your loss. You will be in our prayers.

Luke, Teresa, and Ted Thorpe

Dear Marie, Michael, Lisa, and Matt,
May the love your family has shared with so many, stay strong and comfort you during this difficult time of sorrow. Bud always had a smile for everyone and could cheer up a room just by entering. I have all of you in my thoughts and prayers and will hold onto memories of Bud and Eddie forever. I love you all.

With deepest sympathies

Mike and Judy,
Can't even begin to tell you how beautiful Thursday's service was and what it meant to us to be there...
A lovely and fitting tribute to an amazing man...
Buddy gave me a job in 1995 though with some apprehension. I had a steller resume having worked at Toyota dealerships since 1973 in several capacities including Parts Manager, Assistant Manager, etc. and Buddy questioned why I would want to accept a less prestigious position...
He asked me to take a ride with him...

Michael, Lisa, Connor & Danny,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Love,
Catherine, Peter, Lily, Jack and Ruby V.

Dear Marie, Mike, Lisa and Matt:

Tuesdays service and todays service were beautiful. Thank you for arranging such fitting tributes to our 2 angels.

Buddy will always be : "The Cookout Master"; "The greatest competitor"; "The first to say something encouraging and nice when it was most needed"; "The Greatest Husband - The Greatest Father (How many times was he named 'America's Father of the Year" anyways) "The Greatest of Friends"; "The Greatest Mentor"; "A great putter"; "The...
