So sad to see this. Bud was a high school classmate of mine. We had a few classes together. I remember Bud as always having a big smile and I'm sure he carried that through life in his profession as a nurse. To his family I send my condolences and prayers. Remember the fond and wonderful memories. Fly high Bud.
