Bud was one of the good guys. Although I only had the pleasure of working with Bud for 1 year, I have received the gift of knowing him for 20. I will never forget his smile. Please, Ruth, Gary and the rest of his family, accept our deepest sympathies.

Although I did not know your loved one personally, I am truly sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in Gods promise to “swallow up death forever” and to “wipe away the tears from all faces”.
