Message: So saddened to learn of Bud's passing. What a kind and gentle man he was and a fine neighbor. Connie and I would go to their house to play cards and share a lot of conversation and at the end of the evening Bud would show us his latest grandfather clock he was making. These clocks were beautiful. Our prayers go out to the family and especially to Jean who is a dear friend of Connie's. Connie and Gary Klein

Message: I have alot of fond memories of the man that I call Uncle Bud, He was my god father, my dad's older brother and I remember his gentle lightheartedness. I don't ever remember him getting mad. Him and Aunt Bernice were two peas in a pod, had SO much fun together and I remember the stories of the jokes they played on each other. He was a very talented man and he will be missed.

Message: Grandma,
I want you to know we're thinking of you and wish we could physically be there during this difficult time. We have great memories of Grandpa (I can still hear his unique laugh today) and although it may seem hard right now, it'll be the memories of these little things that push away the pain and bring smiles back again. I love you very much.Â
Love,
Darcie, Matt, Cody and Casey  Â
