I worked with Bud on one of his investment accounts. I'm very sorry to hear of his passing. I always enjoyed working with him and the discussions we would have regarding the market.

When I think of Bud, I remember a proud and committed family man, a compassionate and generous friend to those less fortunate than he, and a valued colleague and loyal professional. Our industry suffers from too few like him. We'll miss him.
