My sincere condolences to the family. Had the pleasure of meeting Bud several years ago. I found him to be a delight. Always smiling with a twinkle in his eyes. One of the last conversations I had with him, was after my moms passing. We talked a lot about God that day. He truly is going to be missed. Rest in peace Bud.

There is never enough time, I was looking forward to reconnecting with Bud and his family. I knew him as a boy, but had only recently got back in touch with him. His time came, and we weren't ready.
