It is hard to hear a good friend has passed. Bud was very good friend. I enjoyed going to medic school with him. Then working with him over the years. He will be missed.

I’m very sorry for your loss of Bud. I went to North High with Bud and considered him a good friend. I lost contact with him over the years, but when I saw him it was always a happy time. I last saw him at St Mary’s. I was not his patient but he came to see me anyway and brought lots of fun and good feelings. All the nurses at the hospital thought very highly of Bud.
Mike Jones says

Shalom Judy, Bud will be missed greatly! There is not another Bud even “remotely” out there! We as Christians know that everyone of us are uniquely made by Our Creator, but Bud is in an overflow of multiplying words to express his delightful uniqueness! {lol} Merle enjoyed Bud to the fullness of his stories & blunt , unreserved bedside manner ! {have to get to really know Bud to understand & appreciate his persay ; bedside manner} Merle was consistently praying for brother Bud and would ask me everyday; have you heard how Bud is doing / any updates??? Thank You brother Bud for entertaining us with your adventurous stories . . . and bringing laughter & smiles to our voices & countenance . . . Instead of frowns of heaviness. You helped us have a merry heart; which is a healing balm of laughter from God! We’re praying for you precious dear Judy! Agape & Love, Merle & Marcia
