Cheryl and my thoughts and prayers are with you Laura and all your family as well. You and Buddy have been great friends. Buddy was and still is a great guy. I learned a lot from him and enjoyed his company. Me and my friends have been telling Buddy stories. Sadness and happiness combined. Those sayings he had are the best. I know he’s resting in peace.
