To Bud's family, please accept my heartfelt condolences on Buds passing. We would sit for so much time and share stories with him on Friday mornings. He was a fabulous man.

A true patriarch, in every sense. He gave his family every reason to be proud. He was not my Pap genetically but, from the moment I met him, I felt welcomed, embraced, and loved. Some of the most treasured people I've ever met are who they are because of him and Gram. And, for that, I am forever grateful. My love and prayers are sent to the whole family. It was my pleasure to have known him.
