I was so stunned and saddened to hear of Bud's death and extend my deepest heart felt sympathy to Sharon, Missy, and the Family. I am praying for each of you and for him. Though our friendship was from college years, Bud is remembered as one of the truly Good Guys. He was so positive and energetic, focused on Family, and willing to step up for anyone in need. God bless him, and all of you.

You will be greatly missed Dad. Thank you for all the many things you provided me during our time together. You supported many dreams that came true, which allowed me to be who I am today. You were a great grandfather to my children who thought you hung the moon. Take care of Ryan until we are all together again in a better place. Love you, Missy
