Peter Budryk

The passing of a kind soul. I will always be grateful for Mr. Budryk seeing something in me that I didn´t see in myself. It is because of him and the Harvard Upward Bound program, that I was able to see the possibilities in life, attend college, and I passed that same feeling of encouragement to our own children. They have all been successful; continuing Mr. Budryk´s legacy of educational excellence, achievement and enjoyment of life. Thank you...God Bless you and Rest In Peace

Wow. That hurts. Mr. Budryk has long been my why. He believed in me long before I did. What a tremendous loss. To his kids, thank you for sharing him. He made a lot of poor kids feel wealthy in mind, body and spirit.

I am so sorry to hear about Peter, he was the nicest man. He gave me his book on fishing in Conn.which I still have.

Dear Robin, Doug and Jennifer, Sorry to hear about your Father and sending our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. We remember his positive attitude, active involvement and most of all his smile growing up on Laurel Grove Road. He will be missed.

Robin, Doug, Jennifer and the entire Budryk family - my sincere condolences on Peter's passing. Peter and the entire family were fixtures to our family growing up on Pine/Poinsettia Street. Peter was a regular conversant with me during my many years as an outdoor Maine Guide and LL Bean employee. May the sorrow turn to tears of joy, recalling the good memories and times with Peter. -David Mazzotta & Marjorie Mazzotta (mom)
