Sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I lost my Dad In 1998. Again sorry for your loss.

Uncle (Cousin) Bud had such an open heart. His legacy is truly his family. He welcomed my husband into the fold as if he'd known him forever. What a gift he was to all of us. I remember growing up and if anything needed repair in our house Mom would get on the phone and soon the old wood-paneled station wagon would be in the driveway and Uncle Bud and a kid or two would jump out. Soon enough all would be right again. Now, I'm thinking that he's driven that old woody right up to the pearly gates and Mom is standing in the driveway waiting. I am so sorry for all of your pain. With all my heart, Judy, Allen and Emma
