Not sure what to say?

Random October night, I had the strangest dream about you, it´s like you weren´t surprised to be there, since you didn´t believe in an afterlife, but as soon as you saw me you understood why you were there. I knew you had passed away for quite some time in my dream and I knew you had come back for whatever reason. I´ve come so far with my life, and tomorrow I get to start my career that I know you´ve seen me work so hard for. Anyways, I miss you quite a lot these days, you taught me so much...

I just came across this and my heart goes out to those who were close to Bud. I send my condolences. Bud was a good, honest person who made a positive difference in thousands of lives. Thank you for including me as one of those recipients. RIP and God bless your soul greatly.

Would Robert be known as Buddy that water ski in Capitol Water Ski Shows in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1965. He attended the University of Nebraska and owned a small used car dealership on O street downtown Lincoln. He and I ski and party when I was stationed in the Air Force there.

He was a great man, good judge of character, fair, and straight forward. it was an honor to have worked for him and certainly to know him... R.I.P. Bud.. i will miss you
