I knew Bud as long as I can remember. He was married to my god mother and a huge friend of my family. My rememberances are a man with love and respect for all. He was in love with his wife and loved his children and grands always. May he rest in peace and continue to watch over his family with love. May God give the family the strength and support that it will take to get through this most difficult time. I will not be with you all Tues. but my heart is forever with each of you.
