Francis G. "Buddy" Gough

Dear Mama Gough & family,

Where do I begin? First, I want each of you to know how deep my sympathy is for you. All I know to say is that any time any of you wish to talk about good times or sad times, cry, need a shoulder to lean on or just need help in doing something, please know that you can call on me. I can remember when Papa Gough came into our family and all the love he brought with him. During my teen years, I could only imagine what it would be like to have such a kind,...

Dear Eva and Family,
No words can ever describe how sadden we are about Buddy's Death. He was our Father and Grandpa. We always looked forward to visiting you two, because we weren't just neighbors to you, we were like family. You have always been by our side. Without you and Buddy, we wouldn't be as sucessful as we are now. Buddy was really a great man. We will ALWAYS remember how the last visit we had with you before he left us, he chased us in the car, just so he can give Thom,...

Dear Eva and family: Tommy and I send our deepest sympathy to you all. We deeply regret that we were out of town and could not attend the services. We feel so honored to have had the great fortune of meeting and knowing Buddy Gough! Words can't express what an extraordinary man he was to all! Tommy says the Men's Breakfast at church will never be the same. And Eva, we will never forget sitting beside you and Buddy during church and noticing how he so affectionately held your hand. It...

Dear Eva,

We were shocked to hear of Buddy's death. You and Buddy were always closer than any married couple we know. We pray that your years of happiness and your many good memories will enable you to live with this sad loss.

Affectionately yours,

Susan and Marty, We were so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. May God wrap his loving arms around you and give you peace and comfort during this time of grief. I know you will truly miss him. Know that others care about you and what you are going through. God's grace will help you get through this time. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

I feel honered to have known Buddy for 35 years. He was my neighbor,friend, and sunday school teacher. I can't compare him with anyone. I don't know of anyone his hand was not out to. Buddy was a good man he lived what he taught, and was quite but his actions were loud. The church doesn't seem the same without him. Buddy's kindness touched everyone. We will miss him forever.

We were so saddened to hear the news of Buddy passing. We know he is in Heaven now, a much better place, but he will still be greatly missed. Even though we were in Montana when we got the news we were praying for the family and friends. Buddy was an excellent example of a Christian. His rewards will be many. The good news is we will meet him again!

My thoughts are prayers are for each of you. Buddy was a wonderful person and he will be missed alot.

Please accept our deepest sympathies.
