He led a long remarkable life, and he always appeared humble and attentive for us at Water Resources. He was a great friend to all of us, with a big smile daily. We sure missed him when he retired but were sure he was accomplishing other great things in life. Till we meet again, Bud, God speed.

The inside of Bud's garage was just like his life. Perfect, clean and flawless. There was not a single person who did not like him. He had a perfect love and concern for everyone. We love you Betty and family.
