To all,
Bud was one of the greatest! I met Margie and him through my wife, Bettina. I listened to his stories intently as we shared a common interest, the military. Through many stories, some twice, I never lost interest, soaking them up like a sponge. You see, it was the passing of traditions from the older to the younger, something that has disappeared these days. You could see the fierceness, the tenacity and the compassion in his eyes. A true hero, 3 wars and a boatload of family to boot! Semper Fidelis Bud! As you march through those pearly gates, hold that chin up, gaze straight ahead and report for duty! God bless all of the family!
