While I was unable to attend last week's memorial service, my thoughts centered on you. I know it's difficult to say "farewell for now" and to adjust to a new rhythm without your dear one. So prayer ascends for you.

Bud was one of the very first Liebert principals that I had the pleasure to meet. It was during my Prep Class days during a Counselor Selling class.

I was introduced to Bud by Martin Weber at my first Liebert Annual Meeting. Martin said that Bud was someone you could always trust.

We will all miss Bud. Tim Graham
