Many nieces and nephews who loved Uncle Bud, his hugs, and many stories.
Bud was a well-respected hardworking man. Was a talented welder by trade working away from home much of the time in the early years to support his young family.
One of his greatest passions when not working was fishing, hunting, camping and campfires. He had many lost lake fishing spots. He told many wonderful stories of another secret fishing spot.
During this past fall he had a wonderful time riding his electric wheelchair down to the government dock to go fishing. Then to the farmers' market to buy fresh produce to go with the fresh fish he caught.
He was a man of great integrity, hard working ethic, and his faith in God.
