...when they pass, some people leave a deep wake and others leave a wide one, Bud left both. There are so many people's lives that Bud touched, and some never even met him, but through all of his efforts he has left this world a little bit better than he found it. Pat, I know you are all very proud of Bud and I will miss a good friend...
