Bud played softball as an adult – in one game he hit four home runs and was so tired by the fourth one he couldn’t run the bases! He acquired many new friends through these activities. Actually, Bud collected friends all his life! He loved hunting and fishing, and spent many trips to Elfin Cove, AK, in one trip he caught a 250#, followed by a 170# halibut. Bud had a zest for life and an interest in everything and everyone around him. We were all touched by his kindness and leadership. He always made time to listen and help. We will miss his phone calls and visits but he will be remembered by all those he touched and will remain loved by many. RIP Bud.
