Mr. Bayne was a gentle, kind hearted man. Always ready to help in any way he could. He was a friend to anyone he met. He was always ready to share what he had. He will be missed.

Uncle Buddy was a man that could make you laugh, even during your most difficult times.

A friend is someone who is “available” when you need him, when it is not convenient for him and who is loyal and trustworthy in difficult times. B'Bayne ( Buddy) has been my friend for almost forty years. He was there to mix chemicals to clean a floor, to haul dirt, to paint buildings, to fix roofs, to cut trees, to commiserate, to laugh and joke, to discuss odd and relevant ideas, to bring vegetables and fruits for me, my wife, my partner and my office. He will be missed but not forgotten. Eugene Novy, Joetta Novy, Deborah Vaughan, Novy, Jaymes & Vaughan

My deepest sympathies to everyone on the loss of Bud. I know your hearts are aching and I share that pain. Bud was like a second father to me, and you all are like family as well. I can look back on so many funny moments with him, and even those where he was stern and tough when Trina and I would be in trouble. He always tried to teach us something, and he was an unforgettable man. I know you all have your own memories and I pray they will bring you peace and comfort now and forever. My love to you all.
