Our hearts ache with the passing from us of our dear "Bud"; however, our hearts rejoice because he lived his life for the Lord, was a great example for all that knew him, and cherish the memories of our passing times together! One could always look for him at any service of the Lord's church in the area, such as the area-wide singings and gospel meetings! May your days be filled with the beautiful memories built by the three of you! Love and prayers!
So sorry for your loss, Bud was a wonderful man.
I'm going to miss seeing and talking to him. It wont be the same. Love you all. Missy

Jim and Nellie, so sorry to hear about Bud's passing. What a sweet, kindhearted man.
Sending our deepest sympathy. We have so many special memories of Bud. He will be greatly missed. Remembering you in thought and prayer.
Sis and Jim, I am so sorry to hear that Bud will no longer be walking this earth but I am so happy that he is in heaven walking around and meeting up all the family who went on before him. I have never heard Bud say any cross words against anyone or loose his temper. He was one of the most easy going person I have ever had known. Bud was more like a big brother to me than a cousin. He taught me to catch a baseball, fish, ride a horse and shoot. He will surely be missed by me.
So sorry for Nellie & Jim, will always cherish Bud’s jokes and stories. Prayers for all the family
