Condolences
Bud was a good friend and he will be greatly missed. I am proud to have had the opportunity to know him. Condolences from Texas.
I remember Bud well. He was in the youth program when Vern and I were at Sweethaven. Most memorable has to be our trip with the youth to camp in North Carolina. We took Bud with a broken leg and lots of warnings from Norma. So comforting to see that Tony, another member of that same group, will be bringing the service for the family. My best to the family and friends. Ann Howard
Bud, you will be missed! Race in peace and God speed.
I will miss you my friend. I will relye on Gods promise to us all. See you on the other side brother
I am proud to have known Bud and been close friends with him for almost 20 years. He was a fine human being and a true patriot, the world is a better place because of him. Our conversations are something I'll treasure for the rest of my life. Rest easy my friend.

Prayers to family. He was was a true friend and will be Missed!
May God comfort you through this heart breaking time of your lives, Mary Jane, Norma, Ann and all the family. Bud was willing to help me with anything I asked of him. I locked myself out of my house and asked him if he could help me. My bathroom wind was not locked, but climbed in the window, fell against the toilet and got a gash on his leg, requiring stitches. He didn’t tell me the extent of his injury until quite sometime latter. He was a loyal next door neighbor.and my husband an I purchased this house from him and his dad. I will miss you Bud, God speed, Rest In Peace. ‘When the roll is called up yonder.‘
