So sorry to learn of Bud's passing. Keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
Bruce and Jackie Bowen
A brother,
A kind soul, like no other.
My condolences to Mom, Greg and your family.
Bud was a good friend, and a good man who loved his family.
Bud was quite a character that I met though our work and he was always willing and able to help me.
This character grew to be my friend and confidant.
I'm very sad for our loss but, I'm blessed that he considered me a friend.
