We had the pleasure of knowing Bud for thirteen years. We were able to enjoy many trips together to celebrate three October birthdays. Also those card games of hands and feet were very challenging. I believe the men skunked us the last time we played. Was that right Joanne? I know we hate to admit it! Ah yes the times we spent on your lakeside deck reminiscing and sharing lots of laughter. Bud will surely be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with, our good friend Joanne, and the family. All our love, Glenda and Ed

I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to know Bud. He made me feel like an old friend right from the first day we met at the lake. I always enjoyed hearing his stories and loved his sense of humor. He will certainly be missed, but his memory will always be held close to the hearts of those who knew him.
