Joyce, Harry Jr., Tan, Shel and Kerry,



Lu, the boys and I send our deepest sympathies at the passing of your husband and father. "Bud" was kind enough to let us get to know him, and I know you will all miss him deeply. Bud was a "man's man". He liked cars, and the outdoors and he was willing to talk and share about all those things. But when I think of him, I think of his laugh, and his love of his family and life. You are all in our prayers in these coming days, and always keep a warm memory of him with you. Everytime I pick up my fishing pole I will. We love you all,



The Steckel's
