What a pleasure it was to know Buddy. He was a pleasure to talk with and always made me laugh. He surely loved his family especially his wife, Beulah. His positive attitude and love must have always guided his family in the right direction. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Buddy was one of the kindest and most soft spoken men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Some of my fondest childhood memories included him and the entire family. What a void in the family circle, but, u can rest assured he is in His Heavenly Fathers home. Love you so much, all of you are in mine & Rick's thoughts and prayers.
