Melba
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. I was in Ireland and learned of Bud's passing just last night.
It is with fondest of memories I harken back to my scouting days and remember all the time and effort the Bud and Bob Johnson put into training Troop 11 boy scouts to be good, productive and honorable citizens of the world. I especially recall the very special times that our Explorer Post had. Bud was a great example and mentor. You may recall our group was small but mighty and we often met in your kitchen to plan events and projects, . and enjoy the mouth-watering cookies and other goodies you prepared for us.
Thank you Bud! Thank you Melba.
With Love and Compassion,
John Nelson
Also an Eagle Scout (thanks to Bud)

Dear Melba, Sorry for the loss of such a loved one. You, Bud and my Mom and Dad had a lot of good times together. Now he can visit with Sumner and Shirley and have good laughs over past good times. I have thought of you and Bud often over the years. Always remember you are loved.

Bud was my Husband's Godfather & best friend with my Father in law. I looked forward to each football season, so I could bet on the Raiders with Bud and my Father in-law Gordon Johnsen. I lost many $2 bets to Bud over the years. Our friendship was filled with laughter. I have many "Bud" stories that will continue to make me smile.
