My sincere condolences. I am so glad that I was able to get together for lunch a couple of times last year with Buddy. I will never forget all of the things we did when we were growing up. RIP Buddy!

Buddy Bent was a kind and caring soul. I fondly remember a myriad of times he would help us out at the Town of Farmington Social Service Department. He made countless trips to Flamig farm to pick up eggs for our clientele. He also made weekly runs for day old bread at Highland Market to be brought to the Senior Center for distribution.
After I retired from the town, Buddy kept in touch. He loved hearing about Obi, our golden doodle and how he was progressing in therapy dog training. It amazed me how much he knew about what was happening in town. Even as his health declined, he somehow stayed connected to the pulse of the community.
Buddy's presence will be greatly missed.
Theresa & Bill Nygren and Obi, our goldendoodle
