This was my uncle who was always called "Bud" as I was growing up, he was my mom's little brother. Bud was a great guy, an interesting guy, and with no living parents, I thought of him as my surrogate dad. He will be mourned by me and my siblings. I loved him with all my heart, and I will always be thankful for our relationship. He was an awesome husband to "Terry" as well. My heart is broken.

Rest In Peace....
