LeRoy Christian Voechting "Roy" LaBudde

Still missed; never, never forgotten.

I'm still quoting him.....;)

Dear Family of Roy, He is still remembered with love and respect; he was a part of my life at MB&F for all the years that I was part of its family.

Roy is certainly not forgotten; he will remain in my memory as a dear man with a loving heart, a fantastic sense of humor, and a generosity of spirit.

Roy is not forgotten; I think of him very fondly every time one of us "seniors" is reminded that "old age is not for sissies!"

Roy was one of the smartest and funniest people I have ever known! He was close friends with my parents and we were always entertained and thrilled to see him. Very warm and wonderful person. Thinking of Anne and the whole LaBudde clan. He really was one of a kind.

Those of us who were fortunate enough to know Roy, to learn from him and to laugh with him will treasure our memories. Roy was the personification of a "mensch," the wonderful Yiddish word that refers to a person who is decent, upright, mature and responsible in all respects. We will hugely miss him.

For a few years in the 80's my office at Michael, Best & Friedrich was right next to Roy's. It was a privilege to know him. Despite the fact that he was incredibly smart he was always self deprecating. He used humor to make every one feel comfortable in his presence. I learned more about how to conduct myself as a lawyer from watching Roy than I learned in law school. He was never pedantic or critical he taught by example.

Bob Johannes expressed better than I can how wonderful it...

If the measure of a man's success in life is the love of his children, then based on what his daughter Susan has told me over the decades, Roy LaBudde was the most successful man in history. May his family and all who loved him continue to reflect the light of his essence in the world.
