The thoughts and prayers of me, my wife, and my children are with you. Uncle Bud was a good man. I will always have fond memories of going fishing with him as a young boy, as well as all the times the family was together through the years. I can still remember going with Mom and Dad to Uncle Bud's and Aunt Alice's house to watch Disney with him. I will forever remember his laugh while playing cards. It makes me smile just to think about it. My deepest regret is that my family is unable to travel to Ft. Wayne for the funeral. We will be praying for you.

Love always,

The Frazier's

Alice, Don, Alice Jean & Carolyn, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. This news comes one day after the news of Carmen Bovio, someone we all knew from the old east end. I learned when my mom and dad passed away just a few weeks apart that they were not really gone. I talk to them all the time. Sometimes i think they answer. Please take comfort in knowing that there are many of us here for you.
