• Our deepest condolences to Bud's family. Bud truly did think of others. During 2 of our winter storms Bud saw me trudging through the deep snow past his home. It was around 6 am, and he knew I was on my way to work at Kinplace. Bud was shoveling his driveway and called out to me, made sure I was warm in his truck and drove me to work and insisted I call him after my shift and he would drive me home. Thanks for your kindness Bud, rest in peace. Lorraine & Ken Turchen ... - Posted by: Lorraine & Ken Turchen (friend) on: Apr 02, 2015

• Bud and I have been friends since 1976 close to 40 years and I am heartsick at the loss of a great friend and great man. When you were Bud's friend it was unconditional. He would help you load work on the truck or drink beer and tell jokes. I wish there were more men like him. I will miss Bud very much. My sincere condolences to family and friends.

• Bud, you will be missed by pretty much all of Oakbank and remembered always as a kind, incredibly funny and caring person. You were one of the strongest men that I have ever met, yet gentle, soft spoken and caring at the same time. I will treasure my memories of you and will always smile when I remember some of those hilarious jokes that you would share, one after another! I have never before, and likely will not ever in the future, know anyone that just never ran out of jokes and funny stories! I am grateful and it was a privilege to have had the opportunity to know you. Thank you. <3 To the family, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you come to terms this very sudden and tragic loss and this most difficult grief journey. I know that in time, when the pain lessens, you will all have such wonderful stories and memories to share. Bud left an amazing lifetime of memories for his loved ones and friends to treasure forever. - Posted by: Judy Dunn (Friend) on: Mar 29, 2015

Remembering all, how I truly was blessed Continue traditions, no matter how small Go on with your life, don't worry about falls I miss you dearly, so keep up your chin Until the day comes when we're together again.

• My Deepest Condolences to Buds family in Oakbank. Judy, Chantell, Cale, Issy and Nicco. He loved you all so very much. I remember when Judy and Chantell accompanied Bud on his trip to Montreal to accept the award of Truck driver of the year. What a important day it was for you three. I will always cherish the memory of Bud as Isabella' s Papa...the glimmer in his eyes when he held her was something so special. He loved his baby girl. I also will hold the memory so dear to my heart when Papa took his girl Isabella in the old fashion car (chicken dayz parade). Seeing those two together was always a blessing. Hugs to you Issy, Papa is with you forever in your heart. Keep the pictures, videos and gifts close to your heart. So so sorry for your loss. - Posted by: friend (friend) on: Mar 28, 2015

We will miss him. - Posted by: Susan and Ross Arnold (Friend and former Neighbour) on: Mar 28, 2015

• Oh my papa. I will never forget our life long memories. You were the only person I could call dad. The only man who told me I was more beautiful than life itself. You were the only person who believed in me when the whole world didn't. You made me feel as tho I was the only one in the room when I walked in. You loved my as your own. You protected me when I needed protection and I know you will guide and watch over me for all the years to come. Our countless road trips, sleepovers, dinners and birthdays. Life will not be the same without you papa. Your little Issy will never forget you. Your memory will live on long and strong in our family. You were ours too. We loved you till the last minute and will love you till our creator asks for us to come home. I can not wait to be with you in heaven. I will miss you more than anyone with a heart beat. The pain cuts deep. I know how much you loved me and Issy, and I promise you I will continue to make you proud. Not a day went by that we didn't talk. I hold the sound of your laugh on my answering machine dear to me. The videos with your contagious laugh will play every day in my home. Papa, till we meet again, please know you were our hero. My papa bear, my superman. I love you so much forever and ever. Be free from pain now, and suffering. Rest easy, and let the sun shine. All my love, always and forever. I love you. - Posted by: Chantell Smyth (Papas little lady) on: Mar 28, 2015
