Bud Anderson was appreciated for his work in chartering the Tacoma Model T Club, back in 1965. His personality and character attracted good people to the club, where he and Theda enjoyed touring with their Model T, attending picnics, parades, car shows and local activities. He was one quality guy, and a very valued friend.

As one of the kids in the early days of the Model T Club, I remember Bud fondly. My condolences to the family. Shirley Halverson (Weldon's daughter).

I love you grandpa! You must be an angel in heaven now, because you were certainly an angel on earth to all of us. Your the most noble man I've ever known. You were a man of few words, but king of the one liners...I love u grandpa forever.
