Legacy
A loving, generous man with a warm heart and quick wit is the legacy that Bud leaves his family and friends.

He worked for Sears & Roebuck for 38 years as a Technician before retiring in 1993. Bud enjoyed carpentry and had the ability to fix just about anything.

Bud will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him
