Harold William Schultz (Bud) was born on November 11th, 1929 in Glendive, Montana to Harry and Johanna Schultz. Bud had two sisters, Lucille and Grace. Bud went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on December 23rd 2025.

Bud is survived by his wife of 67-½ years, Korene, their two children, five granddaughters and seven great grandchildren. Bud is also survived by his younger sister, Grace. Bud and Korene were members of Hope Lutheran Church for the last 66 years, where over the years Bud held several different lay positions including being on the board of elders, school board chairman and was actively involved in Hope’s evangelism program.

Bud worked for the railroad and at a department store before joining the United States Air Force. Upon exiting the Air Force, he attended Montana State University earning a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, being the first of his family to graduate from college.

Bud spent nearly forty years working for the Boeing company as a manufacturing engineer, being well known for his expertise in sheet metal forming and traveling to many locations to help with challenging manufacturing processes. He was active in his community and ran for political office (State Senate) in 1966.

Bud never met a stranger, only friends he had yet to know, and now he has had the joy of meeting his Savior face to face.

Please share memories of Bud and photos on the guestbook, located below.
