Bud was one of very few that I have had the pleasure of knowing that when it came to his family & friends he was incredibly selfless. My husband & I are so greatfull to have had him as a friend. Bud helped my husband build a shop at our house & when I got a motorcycle I knew it had to be Bud that took me to my first Bike Week in Daytona. I will never forget that day! It was so much fun. Bud there is an empty place in our hearts but we rejoice in knowing we will see you again. What a guy! Our thoughts & prayers are with you Jan & all the family.

Godspeed Bud, till we all meet up and cruise together again.

What I can I say about "Bud"? I my deepest sympathy to Jan and Family. You are in my prayers during this time. "Bud" was a remarkable person and cared very deeply about his friends, he would be the first to tell you he was older than dirt and held nails for Noah. Bud never met a stranger and could talk about anything. He was dearly loved by everyone and will be truly missed. In Loving Memory.

We're going to miss our friend and neighbor, Mr. Bud. The times we exchanged magazines, talked about motorcycling and tools will be over but not forgotten. There will be a hole in our lives at the passing of a fascinating person!

My condolences to the family. I know you will miss him greatly, as will I.
As his daughter-in-law said, he touched many lives and will be remembered by all. He suffered greatly but I believe he will be rewarded greatly as well. Rest in Peace, Bud

Bud - We are going to miss you so much, you don't even know. I'm so glad you were a part of my life for so long. It's really unfair what you had to endure during your final days, but I feel that we were blessed to have you as long as we did. You were a great father and grandfather. Lauren has fond memories of you and now knows your in heaven taking care of her "big dog" Lance and Lindsey will know you through photos we will use to keep your memory alive. You were loved by so many and touched so many lives, I'm honored to have been a part of your family. We love you sooooo much, Be with God.
