We were so sorry to hear about Bud. He was one of the really good guys in this world. He was kind and such a gentle soul. We will miss his smile. We always kept a bottle of Wild Turkey in our bar, so he could have a little nip when he and Carole came to one of our gatherings. Bud will make an amazing guardian angel to watch over his family, who he loved.
