Elden "Bud" Bertrand Jr.

My husband Bill Mullins went to school with Bud, and they both joined the Navy together. He was my husbands best friend, and always the designated driver.

I didn't know Elden that well, but he was one of my husbands best friend. They went to school and joined the Navy together. They lost touch with each other after the Navy, I don't why but my husband always said Bud was the greatest guy he ever new. Virginia will remember my Husband Bill Mullins.

I know he was my husbands best friend in High School, and the Navy. They drifted apart as they got older which was to bad, but I am sure they are back together again.

Virginia, Buddy, Mike and Family,
I was quite taken by the very sad news of Dad's passing. He was an exemplary man in every way. As many others, my life was changed in so many positive ways due to his unwavering generosity, compassion, kindness and his ability to surrogate parent when needed.

My deepest condolences are beyond description and words. I hope you are all doing well. Please let me know if I can do anything at all.

Julie and Dwight,
My condolences on the loss of your Father and Father-in-Law. My thoughts are with you and all your family at this time of sorrow.

Wow. I don't even know what to say. I've been here going through grieving right along with all of you. One of my favorite memories was waking up and going to the kitchen to find Papa cutting through the fruits of the day and making sure we all had enough fruit! Standing around the counter reading the paper and watching him feed Madison breakfast. Sweet. I also look back and remember how much Bud and Virginia loved each other. I thought they were so, so good to one another. I never heard a...

Bud was a good friend and will be missed by all. I have known him and the family for many years. In his own quiet way he was a great support for me at Manogue High School. He will have a special remembrance in my prayers as will all the family. May God grant him a well deserved place of peace and eternal rest!
