I will miss stopping in for a game. He could also recall the life of my parents, and enjoyed passing along this history. Having been named after horse Jockey, "Perry Nelson", Bud really liked that. We shared stories of race tracks in FL, and my visits with Kathy down there. How nice it is to see such a loving family caring for one another. He really did die in Peace.
