To Laurie and the entire Greenwald family: My thoughts and prayers are with you as you struggle with the loss of such a wonderful man. I have never heard an unkind thing about "Bud". He was a wonderful man. This is reflected each day in the way his children conduct themselves. You are in my prayers
