My fondest memories of Bud are the dapper dan that he was and the beautiful smile he wore. Being the grandfather to Nikki gave me many opportunities when he was in FL to visit with him. Bud was a kind, gentle soul that will stay in my memory forever. I feel privileged to have known Bud. My thoughts are with the family and heaven has gained one more angel.
