So sorry to hear of your loss. Jim and I remember Budddy with fond memories. He was a wonderful and dedicated man. Our prayers are with your family.

In the thirty odd years I knew Buddy I can't say that I ever saw a frown on his face unless he couldn't find something. He was the most upbeat man I have ever known, full of energy, a ready and firm handshake and somewhere on him a harmonica or two!

Buddy was my Granddad, and one of the best men I have ever known. I have never known a more giving soul or a bigger heart and doubt I ever will again. I was certainly blessed to have him in my life and witness many of his good deeds and greatness.
