What a great guy! I first met Bud way back in the '60's at my parents drive-in grill...The Golden Leaf. Bud would come in weekly, on Saturday I believe, and order a bucket of chicken without fail. Then as I grew up and married, Bud built my first house out on Hugo Rd. near Field's Mill.

I'll never forget Bud & never forget his big smile. My heartfelt condolences to all his family.
