Dear Billie and Family,
We were sad to hear of the passing of Bud. The Nix name is so much a part of our Long Lake memories. From going up to the store to buy candy as a kid, eating lunch at Grant supplied by Nix's, to entertaining you at Holiday Park. We go back a long way. Good times to remember. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Bud Nix was one heck of a great guy and helped make my college years at Ole Miss some of the best of my life. I know he will be missed terribly by his friends and family and my heart goes out to them. I was glad we initiated Bud in to Phi Kappa Theta fraternity and was proud to call him my brother.
