I´ve only known Bud for about 25 years. And it was thru NAPA. It was always an interesting call. Bud was good man and never would hurt anyone. I remember his fondness for his Cadillac. It wasn´t that long ago he delivered to the shop. Rest In Peace Bud.

In 1964 my family moved just around the corner from Buddy´s house in Vineland and within only a few months we met and became good friends. I still have vivid memories of riding a go-cart around his backyard and eating pb and j sandwiches his mom would make. It was only a year later, after I started playing the guitar, that we would routinely jam with his dad to Dixieland and Swing music down in his basement. Even at a young age Buddy was a music prodigy able to play many different instruments. During junior high school, Buddy and I formed a rock band called the Living Dead. I´ve attached a couple pictures of us practicing in my back yard with Buddy on the keyboards. After high school I moved away and regrettably never kept in touch. I am very saddened at this wonderful person passing. Rest In Peace friend! - Dwight

Buddy was a good neighbor and friend on Franklin drive! He reminds me that I gave him my newspaper route when I went to work at Imperial 400 motel! I remember his love for cars! I think I remember he had a Ford Falcon which might have been his dad´s car
