My thoughts and prayers go out to Kim Cindy and Shirley his loving companion for many years. I have known Buddy for over 35 years I first waited on him at the bank and later on in life We lived next door to him for 13 years, he was truly a very special loving and caring person. I know he is with our Lord now and looking over all of us. To know Buddy was to love him.

My best friend who has my birthday card waiting to be mailed sitting on my desk. I just spoke to Buddy several weeks ago in regard to his
"new hip" and he sounded like he was ready for the dance floor right now.
I was so blessed that he got a chance to visit Lillian and me while she was still alive and then a second time with Shirley and both of his beautiful daughters. Our son was here and we sure had a great time on the "Lillian Jean"
fishing and swimming.
I enjoyed our cigar time together with Jack Daniels.
Buddy will be in my thoughts until I see him again.
I sure have some good memories to
keep in my heart.
I send my best to all his family and most of all, Shirley Powell, who had a very close relationship
with my wife, Lillian.
I am sure he will open a car or used angels wings lot in Heaven.
He is the greatest, bar none.
