Edward Everett "Bud" Long Jr.

Thank you all so much for your entries. Our Pop-pop will always live on in our spirit and in everything we do. He was a gift from God and we know the the Lord is welcoming him back home. Rev. John at Saugatuck Congregational Church said it well: "Bud" is re-orchastrating the angels as we speak [and roaring on the harmonica!] Sharing your memories and condolences has meant so much to me, I am going to be sure the whole family gets to see them.

Thank you so much and God...

Nancy and family,
Bud will be missed by so many. His laugh will carry on forever.He will be deeply missed.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

Nancy and family,

I am very sorry to hear the news about Ed. He was long time friend of the Hanson family. I remember caddying for ED and my Dad at one of the Member-Guest Golf Tournaments at Aspetuck Valley when Ed shot two under par during the final match to clinch the Championship. He was a great competitor in golf, tennis and in business. He was especially helpful to me and my dad in the paper business. Ed knew everyone and everyone new Ed. He had a great reputation, was well...

Dear Nancy and family......just heard the sad news about Bud from Mark Posius, who said that Bud welcomed Mark's parents to Ponte Vedra many years ago.
Bud was always doing considerate things for others and I appreciated the many ways he made our visits to the Players more enjoyable. He was my friend and golfing buddy for over 40 years and the highlight was when he and I won the Connecticut Seniors 4-ball championship in 1992. Another memory was the great two weeks we had at the Players...

Nancy and family. My thoughts are with you today. I enjoyed being your next door Rough Creek and Little Bay Harbor neighbor. I remember the first time we met. Bud, as usual, was busy working in the yard, and had filled your house with pine cones. I think he brought them in through the back and when he was playing golf you took them out the front door and put them in our trash can so he wouldn't know. What a neat way to meet! I remember when all the grandchildren were little the Easter...
