Bud was raised in a large, loving, Catholic family and he proudly raised his six children in the Church. He loved being a husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather. His greatest joy was his family, but he also loved golf and being on the water. He was sensitive, loving, kind, wise, and fair. Everyone was a better person for knowing him, and our world is a less kind place without him.
