Martin "Bud" Parish

One of my favorite childhood memories was when my family and I visited uncle Bud and aunt Susie in Indiana. Uncle Bud, my dad, my brother, a neighbor of Bud's, and I all went fishing and had a fish fry afterwards. Ill never forget that vacation and all of the awesome memories we shared. You always knew how to make me laugh and I thank you for that. Rest easy uncle Bud, love ya

In about 1977 we moved way out in the country. It was a rough winter and we were snowed in and out a lot with a new baby. I worked on some cars for Bud and he had a 4x4 scout on the lot. Told him I'd like to have it but couldn't come up with enough money till I sold my car. He said go ahead and take it, pay him off when the car sold. It took me 6 months or more to sell. He never asked for money or said a word. When I sold the car and took him the money, I asked about interest on the "loan"....

We will miss you so, Budley, you were truly a special man-your smile, your laugh, the quick (and often sarcastic!) humor that made you the life of the party wherever you went. I am thankful that you and dad introduced mom and Marge roughly 50 years ago, as we became extended family and have shared so much over the years, good and bad. You lived life to the fullest, and hopefully are continuing to do so now in heaven, probably at the 19th hole entertaining all the family and friends who went...

I love you Grandpa Bud you will be greatly missed I will cherish all the wonderful and happy and great memories of our family from childhood till now, I love you RIP until we see each other again xoxo❤❤❤❤
