Edward C. "Bud" Roberts III

What can I say about Bud! I first had the pleasure and honor of serving with him in the Chamber of Commerce, which led to the Dexter Daze committee for many years.

My condolences, sue, Chris, Cindy and Randy. He was a great guy and always good to me. With loving thoughts and prayers.

Our business on Portage Lake cared and maintained Bud´s fleet of vehicles for many years. This started a friendship of which he attended our coffee hour on Saturdays for well over 30 years. He was a generous and kind soul whom we came to love as family. Rest easy Bud, we will surely miss you. Peace Bill and Patti King
