I am so sad that Bud has passed away. He was such a wonderful friend to me. I think of all the great stories that he told me over the years of many people that I know and don't know.He had so many stories about sweet William, his sisters, his neice, his nephew, David, Larry and of course his parents...
I have to laugh when I see his name at the top of this page. He was very secretive about his middle name. He told me that it began with and E and he would only tell me what it was if I guessed it. It felt a bit like Rumpelstilskin. It took me months , but I finally guessed Egbert. I remember his face dropping in surprise. He told me to never tell anyone and swore me to secrecy.
There are so many stories like this one that make me laugh when I think of Bud. I will mss him very much.
