Bud is the reason why I am a success today. Bud helped me get sober after a extended battle with alcoholism. He was there for me during the most trialsome times in my life. I will never forget him. Bud was a true gentleman and a true friend. I will see you again my friend in Gods beautiful paradise.

My dear Bud...thank God for the rail! It was our love of travel that put us both on the cruise ship where we met. The ten years we had together were filled with adventure traveling around the world and I will forever miss our life together. I won't say good bye, but instead, "see you in another place." Your loving companion, Darlene.
