Buddy was always a man with a smile. We will miss our back fence friend and neighbor.Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. A nice memory was when Buddy had Jim to build the sign for the church and they spent days in the garage planning and watching it become real, he loved his church and The Lord.
our prayers are with you
