Bud was my lifelong friend from the age of 10. I have many memory’s from childhood to graduation from high school . We were life long friends. Bud introduced me to my wife Sue of 47years. Sue and I will miss him.
Buddy was my first cousin. We phoned each other once a month or more and had long conversations. He will always be in my heart of memories.
Rest in peace, cousin Buddy. You were so kind to me when we were kids. Taught me how to sail wooden boats that you made out of scraps.
Bud and I were first cousins. Along with his brother Bobby we grew up together, getting into stuff only cousins could get into. I have so many wonderful memories of those carefree days. Go rest high on the mountain, Bud.
My Uncle Bud, RIP
He always had a cookie for me when I came to visit. Rest In Peace Uncle Bud.
Bud is my uncle. He is in heaven with my daddy. May you RIP being next to your brother ❤️
