Lois & Family: Our hearts go out to all of you. Bud was such a special person to all who knew him. Especially our family. Without his special consideration and understanding, as well as yours Lois, our grandchildren would not have known such care when they were babies and growing up. And especially Keegan would not have had the special care he needed at such a critical time in his life. We will always be grateful for you.
James & Linda.

On Wednesday January 8, 2014, early in the morning, we lost a good man. Bud loved and treated me as a brother. Death causes a hurt that we can not
heal, but the love we shared creates memories that death can not steal. Lois, Bill, and Ricky, we are praying for y’all.

I was shocked and saddened this morning when I heard that we had lost you from our lives. Lois and family, if there is anything that we can do to help, please just let us know. I am sorry that we didn’t get a chance to say good-bye one last time. Bud, my last memory of you will be standing at your home talking with you and Lois before Christmas. You will be missed by all that knew and loved you.
