So Sorry about Bud. Enjoyed working with him and Red at Osceola Products. He was a lot of fun to be around but when it came to work he was serious.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this time. We had to be out of town or we would have been there for the funeral.

I'll miss you Uncle Bud. You had swagger. You were always in your western wear with your boots and a big ole belt buckle. You and Dad were two of the toughest guys I've ever known, and yet, two of the sweetest also. You didn't know how to read because you got a job when you were a kid to help take care of your brothers and sisters when your mom died at a young age. You led a successful life in spite of that hardship. As a kid, I loved to hear all of the stories about your rough and tumble youth... getting into mischief...... tales about Alabama and your parents and what a handful your dad was.... making your brothers and sisters eat bread pudding because that is what you knew how to cook....laughing that they didn't starve because of it even though they complained......hopping a cargo train to go see your cousin Jeff in Alabama........catching huge fish in the river when you were a commercial fisherman. RIP. You deserve the peace.

Love you,
Sweet Pea (Darlene)
