I will remember "Uncle Bud" for many things, including his good humor and business skills. Bud taught me many things about quality and doing the job right the first time. In many ways, I felt like his second son, as I used to join Brad and the family in many family events. He was a great Dad, and I'm sure a great husband too. I never will forget "Uncle Bud". My prayers go out to everyone in the family.
With Love,
-Ken
