We were very sorry to hear of your and the Jewish Communities loss. Every time we met, Bud he always had a "Bereleah how are you?" ready and waiting. My years of working with him on the Foundation were truly a pleasure, he knew what he wanted but was always willing to listen. His spirit, dedication and character will be missed.
