I am so sorry for your loss. Bud was a dear friend of my mom's. She is gone now too. I actually have birthday and Christmas cards that Bud sent to my mom in 1933, etc! It is so hard to lose our loved ones. God bless all of you.

Dear Pape family,
I remember your Dad coming over to our house on Keystone many a time to help my Dad with somethings aroud the house as my Dad was not handy like yours. I remember one winter we had gone downtown and my Mom had forgotten the keys and when we got back home we were locked out. It was Dec and around 9 o clock at night. My Dad said, "I'm going over to the Shaws to call Bud Pape, he'll be able to help". He did. I forgot what he did but we got in the house. Your Dad made us all a wooden jumping jack toy and also he made some small foot stools. I still have mine. Thanks again for sharing your dad. I'm sorry I was unable to get to the wake. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Kathy Perry
