I remember this family and songs of grace by Bud, in a small church in Delhi, CA. I was 10 in 1959 and would love his songs on CD. Anyone. Love, Ellie Jefferson City, MO.

My heart is saddened by our loss. Bud's life, like so many of ours was truly blessed. His ministry, from the beginning, wasn't always "cattle on a hillside, blue skies up above". Even when things were tough, he never gave up.

I have such fond memories like, helping Bud engineer several recordings in the front of his old semi-trailer which also carried his tent ministry across the country.

I truly admired Bud's talents and abilities. I felt pretty competent, with my guitar playing abilities, as a teenager, but Bud taught me to be better.

Bud was preaching at W.V. Grants church in Dallas, TX for one service, but had been delayed at the airport and he didn't have his guitar. We had driven down to be in service with him. He saw me and asked if I had a guitar with me (just happened to have a brand new one, just out of the wrapper)and loaned it to him. He sang and preached everyone was blessed. When I got the guitar back it had it's first "Character" mark on it. I cherished that forever.

Bud, thank you for blessing me along with countless others. Now, go ahead and teach those angels how to sing.

Our hearts are filled with mixed emotions; Sad for the vacancy that is created by Bud's homegoing, yet Happy, to know that another weary Pilgrim has made it home.
We have been friends with Bud for many years, and have sung his songs across our land. My wife, Dorothy Hart Richey knew the Chambers' when as children they all were a part of Ninth & Phillips A/G Church in OKC.
We can all truly say,"There's Too Much To Gain To Lose."
GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU.
