Edwin Eldon Proulx Jr.

My deepest sympathies to your family. I was in Mr. Proulx's American Government class at Franklin High School in the 50's. I have never forgotten him nor his sense of humor through the years. May God be with you and your family each and every day.

Dear Mrs. Proulx:

Bless accept my deepest regrets and sympathy for your loss of Bud.I have worked at Pacific Avenue Bowl for almost 40 years and can honestly say that meeting and getting to know Bud when he had the bowling class from Delta College there is one of my fondest memories. The warmth and sincerity of Bud's smile will also bea fond memory of mine.He was truly a wonderful GENTLE_man and will be missed by many I am sure he influenced. God Bless you in this tough time-my prayers are with you.

I'll always be grateful to Mr. Proulx for teaching me racquetball. He made such a positive impression and it's those small things that made such a huge impact in my life. Be with God!

Dear Margie,
Bud was always known as "Buddy" in our family. As I was growning up, he was my sports hero. My dad, the other Bud, took me to see Buddy play at UOP 1949-50 and I bragged about him ever since.
The picture in the obit is how my mind always pictures him,at our Easter family get to-gethers. He was always so special to hang around and listen to. I will always remember how he told about getting into the PR profession and then returning to education. An interesting story!!

Our thoughts are with you in your sorrow. Dave and Dee

Mr. Proulx was my Driver Ed. teacher at Franklin HS in the '50's. Still to this day I thank him for teaching me the correct way to parallel park! He was a wonderful teacher and coach. My sympathy to all his family.

Mr Proulx was my basic teacher at Franklin High. He was a wonderful teacher. I never forgot him as I have so many other teachers. I am so sorry for your loss. Words cannot express.

Marge,
Kitsy and I were sorry to learn of Bud's passing in the paper. I will never forget some of his comments to me when he was coaching Stagg football-a long time ago.

I remember Mr. Proulx as a gentleman and a great gym teacher from my days at Franklin (class of 1954)
My sincerest sympathies to his family.

Dear Marge & family: I'll always remember our early parenting days on West Longview- Bud was a wonderful father, and didn't we have fun at birthday parties and neighborhood get-togethers. The girls and I send our love and caring thoughts.

I am very sorry to hear about the passing of Coach Proulx, he was my assistant coach on Delta's first championship football team. He was always a gentleman on and off the field. My teammates and I owe him a lot! Bud will truly be missed.

I enjoyed the senior classes at Delta College.

Best regards,

Jim Limbaugh

Dear Marge,
I will always see Bud's wonderful smile on the courts. Deeply saddened to hear of his passing.

I'm sorry that Mr. Proulx has passed. He was a fine educator and coach. Imagine he, along with George Brumm and Ernie Marcopulos at Franklin High during the 50's. What a coaching staff! They developed a lot of talent. Unfortunately, opportunities were not as good then, as they are today. I know Mr. Proulx will be missed by many people.

Marge,
Please accept my sincerest condolences. Bud was a wonderful person and a great coach. I will always remember playing for him at Delta, and later playing doubles against him. He was always a gentleman. When he called the ball out, I knew it was out. I know you did an amazing job of caring for him, and of that you should be proud.

Dear MargieBelle and the entire Proulx clan - our deepest sympathy to you as we all grieve Bud's death.

Dear Marge, Anita, Jim, Steve, Susan and girls,
We are so sad for your loss. Bud was truly one of the most wonderful people we have ever known. We are all better people for having had Bud in our lives. We will always treasure those special times in Duarte when Marge and Bud would visit. God Bless, Bud and all of you. We love you, Mark, Mary and family

Dear Mrs. Proulx,
I have known Bud since I began coaching in Stockton in 1957.
He was someone that I looked up to and I tried to emulate him. He was one of the finest men that I knew. I know that you have pain in your life as I lost my daughter in May. Please kow that he was loved by many people. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Vic Berg

Dear Marge,
Bud was such a wonderful person and touched so
many lives. My thoughts are with you and your
family in these sad days.

Bud was one of the finest men I've ever known. I remember so much playing raquetball with him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I will miss him very much. He was truly a good man.

Dear Marge,

You're always in my thoughts and a role model to look up to. Please accept my deepest sympathy for the passing of Bud.

Love,
Rowena Chen

Marg and the Proulx family:
I am so sorry to hear that Bud has passed away. He was a wonderful man. As he was to many in practically two generations of Stocktonians, Bud was a coach to me, a mentor, a friend and an associate over the years. He was a fair and even-tempered man who instilled many values in me while we both were at Delta and continued to show concern in my growth and progress and follow my career in sports journalism after I moved on. Bud was a man who truly had a postive impact on many in this community and that will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

May your heart be filled with the wonderful memories of your many years together as you and your family celebrate a life well-lived. We hope the love of family and friends will carry you through this time of sorrow.

I loved Bud..He was a great teacher and mentor to me...He was my coach, I looked up to him very much...could never beat him at ping pong....
