Bud will be missed!

There was always a fun time when Bud was around. Singing, dancing, Bud just being Bud making everybody laugh. At Sal and Hans pigroast in July, it was fun hanging out with Bud....never would have known how sick he really was. That's the type of person he was. We always were joking around. We have known Bud for a very long time. Although not blood, we were family.
