I was so sorry to hear that “Bud” had passed away . He was involved in the scouting programs at our church in my early life. Our friendship continued when I was employed by Paper Art Company when he was in management. I regret how time has a way of scattering people in many directions only to find out years later the Lord has called them home and left a void in your life because of it. I will make a point of coming to the viewing to see family and pay me respects. Gene Meenach

Dear Susie, Tim, Edyth and Sally:
Please accept my condolences on the loss of your dad (Bud). Many fond memories with he and Marty playing pinnocle and trying to keep all you kids quiet and content. I always enjoyed singing in the OCC Choir under Bud’s direction. He was very talented and wonderful friend.
Even though our parents are supposed to go before us, it is no less difficult to give them up. We know however, that Bud is now where he wanted to be, with his Lord and Savior, Jesus.
God Bless you all, Tom Mock
