Raymond J. Budner

My grandfather was the best friend a man can have, he was loving and he always put everyone before himself. I have so many good memories, but the memory that kills me is January 3rd, 2007, I had the chance to go and be with him but no I was to selfish I wanted to stay home and sleep! rather than be with him! Not a day goes by without me thinking of him! When I heard he was gone my heart was literally ripped out of me!!! I'll always love him

My father in law was a strong man with many talents. He was a man who is respected by all, a football player, a leader,a father a husband, a grandfather, an Army man and so much more. He overcame adversity with grace. His smile always entering the room with him. He was strong, but sensitive. He could be stern, but fair. He loved with all of his heart and was very much loved back. He was thoughtful, kind, funny, intelligent, handsome and full of memorable stories. Ray Budner is the kind of man...

My deepest sympathy. I'm glad we were able to do lunch last spring and reminisce about times at the General.

Dear Brad and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May your memories bring you comfort.

Mr. Budner was just like another father to me. From the day that my family and I drove to Lansing, IL. to meet my future College roommate (Brad and his family) back in the summer of 1984. What a guy!!
