I was in the hospital in Raleigh, NC on October 30th and just yesterday my son Dickson Logan told me about Buddy. I am so terribly sorry to hear this and want you all to know that you are in my prayers. Terry and I met Buddy and Ruth back in the 70's and we spent many times with them together.
Take care of yourselves and enjoy each other. I will think of you always. Stu

Sharon and Karen, I’m so sorry to hear you lost your dear brother Buddy. Also my deepest sympathy to the Suiter Family. I had the pleasure of meeting Buddy several years ago on a trip to Mt. Rushmore with Fidelity Bank. He was such a hoot and so nice to speak with, I could see that he and Ms. Anna Upton sure enjoyed their trip together.
I pray GOD will give you peace and comfort as you prepare to lay your dear brother to rest.

Sharon and all the family,
I am so saddened to see that Buddy has passed away. Buddy was always so nice to me and a pleasure to do business with. The last time we talked, which was only about a month and a half ago, he said he wasn't doing well. I've known Buddy a long time and will remember his kindness and gentle voice. Praying for all of y'all during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Jane Hawley

Buddy was my best friend for 70 years. We had many adventures together. Both of us graduated from Trumann high school in 1958. We used to run around in my old 1939 Chevrolet. Buddy was the most popular boy in our class. He told great jokes and stories. I will miss him until the day I am called.
