“When you lose someone you love, a part of yourself is lost; what remains forever is the love you shared.” Bud was deeply loved by his family, he lives on in your hearts for eternity. With sincere heartfelt sympathy.

Bud was a good friend with whom we shared many memories. His Dad, Merle, was one of our Scout leaders. Both he and his brother Bob shared many joys and stories with friends in Scouts in football and basketball and dancing through our adolescence. My heart goes out to Suzanne and their children in this time of sorrow and remembering.
