Ann, It's always great to see you. I know you inherited your Dad's wonderful personality. He was a sweetheart and a loving family man. He's with the love of my life now and they are talking about all the good times we all shared. You really know this, especially when I saw the picture of Theresa. They are eating the best Gumbo and artichokes tonight. Love is wonderful. We'll be together again real soon. Trust me he's watching over You, Mike, Greg and each one in your families. I pray the rosary every night and he will be on my list. Love Y'all The John A. Renaud Family (Bernie)

To the family of Buddy I just want to say it was an honor an a pleasure to work with such a wonderful IBEW member. Buddy was a wonderful mentor to me and I'm sure to many others. What he gave of himself to IBEW Local 130 cannot be adequately expressed. He was fair to everyone including travelers one of which was my father who also sends his condolences. We will remember y'all in prayer during the difficult days ahead. Just know Buddy was respected and cared about by many.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

April 3, 2016

Ann, Michael, Gregory, Barbara and families, we are so sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved Dad, friend and companion. We are blessed to have had a wonderful friendship with Buddy, Gerry and Buddy and continued our relationship with Buddy and Barbara. We shared many great times together over the decades and will never forget those cherished memories. Not many people retain a friendship which started in fifth grade. We were lucky to have each other over all of the years. Heaven has gained a angel and we while are mournful, we know Buddy is with our Lord and will be looking over us all.

May God hold you and bestow His comfort and peace upon you during this most difficult time. We wish we were able to attend the services honoring Buddy's life, unfortunately our current situation makes it impossible. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Much love, Ben (Armand) and Audrey Cantrelle
