I just wanted to say John was the most genuine, honest person. I have called him many times at two homes now and cant believe he was taken. I will pray for his wife,family and friends. Such a loss.

To my Kentucky family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I have this little saying that was given to me when my father, Bud's uncle, passed. I hope it brings comfort.

Togetherness
Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. Everything remains exactly as it was. Whatever we were to each other, we still are. Call me by my old familiar name. Speak of me in the same easy way you always have. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. One brief moment and all will be as it was before - only better. Infinitely happier. We will be one, together forever.

There are NO words.....Your loss is beyond words. My thoughts and prayers are dedicated to the entire Dacci Family.
Bud's nature taught so many. May we all take a special piece of Bud, nuture that piece, grow that piece and carry on his SMILE,DEVOTION and SPIRIT forever. For that special piece of Bud is the piece of whom we all have become, he taught each of us. Thank you Bud for teaching us to be patient,kind and better to others. How lucky, and HONORED we each are. To the Dacci Family, thank you for sharing Bud with each of us. I pray your inner faith will embrace you at this tragic time.

To the Dacci family,
Very few things in this world make us stop or even take notice anymore. There is so much madness and craziness.
This made me stop in my tracks and bow my head and pray for Bud and for all of the Dacci family. My heart goes out to you all and you are in my thoughts and my prayers. I cannot fathom the depth of your loss and I am still stunned by the news.
May God hold you in His loving embrace and comfort you.

Mr and Mrs Dacci, Sue, Jim, Jane and Steve,

Growing up across from your family on Jasmine Drive meant being blessed with an extra family. Jane and I spent a lot of time together and Bud was like an extra big brother to me. I thought he was so handsome and so nice. Even as a boy he was the epitome of a gentleman.

I am so sorry for his loss. Although I do not know MaryAnn I am praying for all of you.

as a toddler, he was my first immage of cool. Bud always recognized my admiration, and always made space in his life for a nefew that wanted to be there. he was one of the most beloved and important people in my life, not at any single moment or era, but consistantly from the day i was born. luckily for my generation and the new one behind us, our entire family flows with the strength and uncompromisable goodness that Bud possessed. I love and miss you, Uncle Bud.

My heart goes out to John, Margie, Sue, Jim, Janie and Steven. I was so saddened when I heard the news. I can't imagine how hard this must be on all of you. Bud was always such a good, good guy! I will always cherish all of the camping trips and all the happy memories of our time with the Dacci family growing up. When explaining to my husband my relationship with you all, I merely said 'they were really more like our cousins, even more than our own blood cousins'. Sue, was my 1st best friend and I have always had all of you in my hearts all of these years...just because life and miles kept us away doesn't mean the love isn't there as always. I hope that you all will somehow find some peace in the happy times, I will send you lots of prayers for your peace and comfort. With a heavy heart, but, filled with love, my deepest sympathies, Cissie Tolliver (Kathy Tribble)

December 29, 2010

Jim,
Paula and I want to send our prayers to you and your family. Bud came to work on our A/C right after I had my first of two hip replacements. We laughed about our times at Beaumont while on the football team. I was not able to pay for his complete service, since I had just got of the hospital, but Bud was there in my time of need.
He was truly a great friend.

Debbie Kelley

December 29, 2010

My heart and prayers goes out to the Dacci family and Mary Ann. Bud was a wonderful person and will be truly missed by everyone.

December 29, 2010

Though I did not know Bud, I had the pleasure of working with his sister, Sue Thornton, for many years. If he was anything like his sister then he was a good man, a very good man. So for you Sue -- my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your loved ones at this most difficult time. May you find the strength to celebrate Bud's life to the fullest. Michael Murphy

We have known the Dacci's for close to 50 years. We have shared so many memories . Sue and Eddie are the true meaning of friends. When you came to know one Dacci, you just loved them all - it was a package deal, for they are the most caring and loving family. Our hearts and prayers are with you always.

I grew up with John on Jasmine Dr. We went to grade school, junior high and high school together and of course, the Class of 74. I still had contact with Bud and Jim as they were my dependable HVAC men that I needed at least once a year. Life is certainly not fair........My heart goes out to the Dacci family.

I am rarely at a loss for words, but this senseless tragedy has had me struggling for days to find the right words to express my sorrow. All I can say is I have known Bud for over 40 years and I am proud to say he was my friend. My sincerest condolences to the entire Dacci family.

Jennifer Sears Sharp

My heart is truly breaking for the Dacci family. Jane and I were inseparable for many years. I have ALWAYS felt a part of the Dacci family, they never made me feel any less. I will truly miss Bud. He always had a kind word and a huge smile on his face and he had a smile that would light up the room. The whole Dacci family is in my heart and my prayers. I love you all

I was best friends with Jane Dacci in the 7th grade. I practically lived at their house.. Jim and Bud were always coming and going but so fun to be around . I particularly remember the respect that the kids had for their Mom and especially the" BIG" Italian Papa. Bud 's smile was Dazzling and his humility and kindness to other did not go unnoticed. My children and I looked up his photos in the yearbook.. What a "KIng " he looked like...on prom night or any other .... God bless all of your family. Jane , try and find me!!!!! xoxoxox

David Hudson

I was one of the many that grew up in Garden Springs and have known Bud and Maryann since grade school, along with both the Dacci and Bishop families. I am deeply saddened by the loss of Bud. He was the one person that everybody liked in school. His eyes always lit up when he smiled. Please know that Bud touched many people’s hearts and will be sadly missed.

December 28, 2010

My sister and I also grew up in the Garden Springs area. Knew Bud in grade school,Beaumont, and Lafayette. Always was such a kind person. Sorry, to the Dacci family for your loss. God Bless you.

To all the Family, when I try to imagine myself losing a child, loved one, or dear friend I can only do that just imagine what you all are feeling. If there is any way all the wonderful feelings that people had for Bud can give you strength and courgage through this tragedy, I can only hope that it does. Try to imagine how he would handle the tragedy and do just that.

To Mary Ann, my dear friend, my heart truly goes out to you. I know you loved Bud as much or more than you ever loved anyone and he was lucky to have your love. You are a special person in my mind and heart and I wish you the courage and strength to go on and do what you know Bud would want you to do. I am here for you, just call.

Love, Teresa Hyatt Gott

Who could forget Bud Dacci's smile? Always a gentleman, always kind, liked and admired by everyone who knew him. As I read all the thoughts shared by those who loved him my heart breaks for Maryann, the Dacci family, and Bud's friends. My parents, Martha and Bill Shorter, also send their deepest sympathy to Bud's parents and his family. Love and light.

Bud you were such a great friend but a more greater human being, your loss is a travesty to us all. It was truly an honor to have been your friend and as evident by everyone that knew you your honesty was one of your many compelling traits. I will cherish the times fishing as well as all the times we shared hanging out. It will not ever be the same without you in the boat, but I know you will be watching down on us all with that genuine smile. You will be missed more than you will ever know. As you know, we will pray for Maryann in her recovery and keep a nurturing watch over her as we know you will be as well. Again, it was a true honor to have known you and and we will forever missed in every way imaginable. . . .

December 27, 2010

Bud was a ray of sunshine. He was always willing to lend his time to help in any way he could, from repairing a dock to lending his tools. As neighbors, we were privileged to spend much time with Bud and Maryann. We will cherish those times together. His sense of humor was like no other. Even after moving from Herrington Lake, it would brighten our travels to pass Bud and see him wave and smile. Our hearts are broken.
Maryann, you remain in our thoughts and prayers. May God keep you in his protective and nurturing embrace.

Your loving neighbors,

Jim Valyo

In the autumn of '69 I had just moved to Lexington from far away, and felt so isolated and alone. Bud Dacci, a very popular lad at Beaumont Junior High, offered me nothing but kindness and support when it would have been far easier and more fashionable to have been unpleasant. The magnitude of his character was evident even at that early age. I will never, ever forget. There's another very, very bright star in the sky now.

Nancy Pickard Hicks

December 27, 2010

I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Bud and the tragic event that happened. I have been praying for the Dacci family and for Bud's wife MaryAnn. May God give you strength and comfort though this time. Please except my condolences.

GOD bless you Bud - we know you are flying with the angels!

I have known Bud and Jim for close to 20 years. It is difficult to express my feelings - but I would have to say that there way always something nice and almost refreshing; getting a return phone call from Bud. He was one of the few people I trusted in the business world. It seems understated to say that he will be missed.

What can one really say about Bud Dacci. Such a very humble and caring person. A heart as big as a mountain. I had the previlage of growing up with Bud and his family in our neighbor hood 'Garden Springs'. All very caring people. We did alot of running together, he was one of my peers that I looked up to. Bud taught me so much about just being a good person and treating others the right way. His smile was priceless. There where seven of us, Bud being one (seventh street MC) that rode motorcycles together everywhere and all night long sometimes. Those memories will last forever and the bonds that where developed. A true gentleman that will be missed by many and remebered by many also. We have lost a good man and I hope that we who are left will find the rode that Bud traveled so we can too can be such a fine honest, humble, gentle human like Bud was. Keep Smiling and remember that smile of Bud's. My prayers are with the families of Bud Dacci.

I have been praying for you all, and will continue to do so.. God bless you all.

Bob Rawlins

December 25, 2010

In reading through the entries that proceed this one, I see that many have captured the beautiful essence of the Bud Dacci known to me for many years. Early in my exposure to Bud I formed the opinion that he was a good man, a term I do not use lightly. My opinion never changed over the 20 years I knew him. The world will miss his smile, his skills and his upbeat personality.

To Jim, Sue and others of the family (whom I do not know) the Peace of the Lord be with you.

December 25, 2010

To my old friends - I am so saddened to learn of this tragic ending of Bud's life. I cannot imagine your grief and sorrow. I hope that you can find some strength over the months ahead. I wish for you a sense of peace knowing how loved Bud was.... - Kevin Reid (Rochester

Bud was one of the most fantastic people I have ever met in my life. Always upbeat and encouraging. He had an infectious smile. He was always determined. He has never seen an obstacle to what he wanted, just the path he needed to take to get there. I am honored that I was on some of those journeys.

"Bud" was an honorable and kind man of whom always had the time to help us in time of need. Bud helped not only myself,but my Mother,Grandmother and Brother with Heat and Air services over the years. Always a top notch technician,honest and thankful for the business. Bud also was a customer of mine for quite a few years. Being in the boat business Bud and I frequented paths over the years at the dealership as well as on the water fishing in tournaments. Bud, was a fine man and I will miss hiskind demeanor and friendship. On behalf of my family, we would like to wish all the best to the Dacci family during this time. Rest in peice.
