I'll miss Bud's upbeat look at life in general. He made things more pleasant, whatever we were dealing with; Best to the family.

It has been such a privilege to call Bud my friend for the last 20 years. He and Loraine have taught me so many of life's lessons. What always comes to mind first when remembering Bud is his sense of humor, definitely the guy you wanted to sit next to at a party!! Loraine you were such a loving wife and Bud adored you. Rest in Peace my dear friend, I will miss you terribly.

“Uncle Buddy” was an icon to his nephew Michael O’Brien and all his friends. We learned many life lessons and had a blast just being around him. I pray he now enjoys his eternal reward and my thoughts and prayers to his entire family.

I have many wonderful memories of Bud in Valdosta. I will always remember him. He will join John C., Jay G. and Johnny B. in the flight in the sky.
