    To the loving Family & Friends may I offer my sympathy in the painful loss of your dear Bud. He will be sorely missed by all who knew & loved him. Please take comfort & hope in the Bible Verses that follow. Psalm36:7 “HOW PRECIOUS YOUR LOVING-KINDNESS IS O GOD! AND IN THE SHADOW OF YOUR WINGS THE SONS OF MEN THEMSELVES TAKE REFUGE,FOR WITH YOU IS THE SOURCE OF LIFE “

    My heart goes out to your family. It is never easy to deal with the loss of a dear loved one. Please find comfort in family and friends as you share wonderful memories of Bud together. Also, may you find comfort in the Bible’s hope of no more death as Revelation 21:4 says, “And he (God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” May the one “who imparts power” continue to strengthen your family. (Phil. 4:13)

    I fondly remember Bud when he worked in my father’s business in Ferndale in the late 50’s. As a teenager, I had the opportunity to work with Bud on a number of work projects. He was an excellent worker and friend. One who gave great guidance to a young man. May you be blessed by the many memories of his life. He certainly was a blessing to me and my family.
