Buddy helped raise me from the time I was 12 years old till I was 22 yrs old. And I can honestly say that during those 10 years I never, ever, seen him mad, or angry. Now he talked like a sailer. (Ha,ha, ha,) but he sure had a kind heart. And smiled all the time. And it didn't take long for us kids to know who to go to when we needed something. (Smile) I have such love and respect for him. He and my dad became best friends. Never knew anyone that didn't love him. I knew that he would fight a bear for me. Me and my sisters had the honor to pray with him, and he accepted The Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior. I know without a doubt we will see him again someday. (Smile)

Buddy will forever be in my heart as a wonderful man who played such an important roll in my childhood. I will always cherish all the great memories and never forget everything he did for my mom, siblings and myself. Even as an adult he was always there when needed and had such a smile on his face when he got to see us and we were just as happy to see him as well. He truly was a good man. Rest in peace Buddy with lots of love.
