George Washington Merwin

Always pleased to see Bud and Sharon. His smile and pleasant disposition made one feel good to be in his presence.

Bud was a good man and will always be remembered fondly. Bud and my husband John worked together in getting Shriner patients to our Shriners hospitals. I never saw Bud without a smile. Bud was devoted to Sharon and they were a couple that people wanted to be around. Rest in Peace, Bud.

The day he called me for my first trip with the Flying Fez. Since then I welcomed his calls, even if I could not take a trip. He was truly dedicated to the wonderful mission of helping families

Bud was a kind and gentle friend and leader. He took the position of trip coordinator for the Flying Fez very serious and was appreciated by all. He will certainly be missed.
