As I sit here today and reflect on Remembrance Day I am reminded that Bud served our country with tours of duty in Germany. Bud and I worked together in the Sheet Metal Trade and I remember the stories he told of his service. To Bud's brother Sheldon I extent my deepest sympathy on the lose of your brother. May the good memories be a comfort to you and the rest of your family. - Posted by: Arnold(Arnie) Otto (friend and fellow sheet metal worker) on: Nov 11, 2014

Bud was the Commissionaire who came into our office for pickup and delivery of files. He was always a bright light in our day. Bud also had a quick and funny sense of humor. I always could count on Bud for my regular supply of rhubarb. I loved making rhubarb/cherry jam for him to enjoy. He will be greatly missed. Thank you Bud for your smile and for the laughter that filled our office. WPS Court unit - Posted by: Irma () on: Nov 10, 2014

The angels looked down from heaven one night They searched for miles afar, And deep within the distance They could see a shining star. They knew that very instant That the star was theirs to gain, So they took you up to heaven Forever to remain. Look down on us from heaven Keep us free from hurt and pain, You'll always be within my heart Until we meet again. R.I.P My Dear Uncle Bud :'( - Posted by: Trina Hawins-Richardson (Niece) on: Nov 10, 2014
