Robert D. Buddin Sr.

Debbie, it was a great pleasure knowing Mr. Buddin. I remember Matt's graduation from USC, how Joel and I had the man laughing his butt off at dinner. We were up to our regular antics, and he was enjoying the show! It was nice getting to know him. He will be missed, but we are happy he was a believer! God Bless!

Keeping your family in our prayers!!

Granddad, I will never forget your voice as you would answer the phone (sounded more like "Yellow?" than "Hello"!), or the same thing you said in response to "Hey Granddad". "Matt? How you doing Grandson??" You said it as if you were thrilled and excited to hear from me as if we had not spoken in weeks--even though it had only been 24 hours since we last talked.

I remember my first model airplane--Uncle Bobby's F-4 Phantom. It is not just that I remember the plane; I remember...

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family as I was lucky to have known Mr. Buddin for even a short time. He was proud of his family and a strong christian man as well as humble and generous. I remember the last time Mr Buddin and I had some time to spend together. We spent part of the day driving around checking on his properties and I had one of the best experiences talking to him that day. I discovered the true, honest, and humble truths behind the man that had been rather...
