St. Mary's will not be the same without our "leader", Bud. He was truly a gentle-man and made us smile, laugh, and always happy to be in his company. Butch and I will always remember the great pride he took in reading at church, offering his services to anyone who needed them, and we will miss him very much. Our most cherished gift was not only his friendship, but the beautiful Bears framed photo of our trip to the game. Thanks', Bud, we love you! (The Bears have lost their #1 Fan!)
