Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

One of my memories of Bud is when he and Sharon took me and my wife Debbie to Legends Casino to see Loretta Lynn. While we were watching the show, Sharon and Bud were on the casino floor doing a little gambling. I don't remember how much they won, but I think Bud won somewhere around $200. If it weren't for Sharon and Bud, Debbie and I would not have been able to go see Loretta. I thought that was very nice of them both to help Debbie and myself by doing that for us. He will be missed very much. To Sharon, be brave. He's in Heaven with Debbie, now. I'm sure she will entertain him by playing the piano for him. God bless. Sincerely, Jack McDonald
