He had also requested that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be made to the Kansas Humane Society, 3133 N. Hillside, Wichita, KS 67219. Downing & Lahey Mortuary West.
To: Pat & Family My husband, Gary Read, & I sold real estate for many years & we enjoyed working w/ Bud & CMC Mortgage on quite a few transactions. He came to our rescue several times & was always fun to work with. We appreciated the opportunity to get to know both of you & always loved your office display at Christmas. Gary & I are so sorry for your loss! Colene Read
