We heard of Bud's passing today. We think of Bud often as he was such a great room mate to dad. He was good to visit with us if dad was unable and it was good to be able to visit with you if both of our loved ones were not in the mood to visit. We are thinking of you at this time as you celebrate Bud's life.
