Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
To the Family, May you find comfort in knowing that God is ‘near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.’ (Psalm 34;18) Take care,
May the God of comfort bring you the peace that passes all understanding and the assurance ofhis loving presence during this time. I had the pleasure of working with ‘Bud’ at Western Implement prior to 1974 and counted him as one of my friends. With Heartfelt Prayers and Sympathy.
Bud was a good brother-in-law. He and Clara always had Cookouts in the summer and for special occasions or just to have us all together.He was a good man and a hard worker. Thanks Bud. You will be missed. Catherine Stevens and Doug
