Dear Kay & Family~
Memories of "Cousin Buddy" are many and happy ones.Time & distance prevented us from being together often; but the times we shared were always happy, memorable, and filled with laughter. When Bud & Kay came to our daughter's Elizabeth's wedding, it was raining "cats and dogs" after the Mass & when we arrived at the reception, he quickly rose to the occasion and acted as a "valet", approaching each car with an over-sized umbrella to protect guests from the rain and offered to park the guests cars. Of course, in true Bud fashion he graciously "accepted tips". There are so, so many stories throughout the years. He brought joy to all he met through the gift of laughter. It's difficult to capture the essence of a man in a few words; but all that knew him can attest that he was a good and decent man - a man who loved his family unconditionally above all else. Rest In Peace Buddy-Boo! I will miss your physical presence but love for you will always live in my heart. ....yours was a life well lived!
