Thanks to Bud, I was introduced to what is now a 26 year association with glass. He was a fair and talented teacher and will be missed.

My husband Phil and I bought our first piece of glass from Bud that started our collection. I'm looking at it now a beautiful, calm burst of sunlight that adorns our living room. Not only was he talented he was a kind and gentle man who loved his family. I would run into him timing at swim meets. He left behind a beautiful family and art that we can always appreciate.

Mr. Hurlstone was my softball coach when I was in elementary school. He was truly the best coach I have ever had, and one of the nicest men I have ever met! My thoughts and prayers go out to Brynn & the rest of the Hurlstone family. God Bless
