Ucle Bud, your kind of humor will always leave me wondering about the punchlines. My most favorite memories of the family gatherings, of course, were all great. "Creamo nights", were the best. Everyone who lived close (family) would just automatically meet at Grandma Jessie and Grandpa Bill's and there would be a whole houseful of us, eating ice-creamo with all sorts of toppings, and or bananas. Laughing and joyfulness abided.
Wednesday nights were "Creamo" nights after choir. Those were the good times remembered well. Uncle Bud professed of his faith, and lived his life for the Lord. His ministry was shared with hundreds of followers. In the latter years his health must have been worse than any of the extended family knew. When I heard he passed away, I was saddened by the fact that you can't go back.
We must enjoy each other why we live, so we have NO regrets and do what we can to the fullest. Our sincere sympathies to you,
Shirley and family, Damon, Mary, Darrel, Jana, Derrick, Christi, Danny and wife, Debi and Sara, and all who suffer the loss of Uncle, father, husband, grandfather, and friend. We are sure Uncle Bud is in a much better place and living his life with a newness and health, that only he knows and what all of us hope to find in eternity. God Bless!!
Lovingly,
Scott and Cinde Wakeman

Eldon was a source of joy and happiness to my husband, James, and myself. Eldon spent many hours with James recounting stories of so many things. We offer our prayers to the family at this time.
