I’m going to miss my step-father-inlaw very much. Stephanie and I were very close to our parents and we look forward to our family reunion in heaven with our new bodies. I expect him to greet us with a big smile and say “good to see you” as we are so used to.
I love you BudDad and will never forget your great sense of humor and your hospitality. Thank you for being such a good step father to me, a good husband to my mother and giving me your daughter to be my wife and the love of my life.
We will miss Bud – the old Bud, we knew before the terrible disease and the Bud we saw changing day by day. Our condolences to the entire family and especially to my sister, Dorothy.
My Dear Father,
I will miss you more than I can ever say. You bought me my first baseball mitt, remember a first basemens. My three other friends and I decided to call ourselves “The 4 Blades” and drew swords in ink pen on our mitts after seeing Eddie Feiner and the King and his Court play softball. I will miss going to Candlestick and eating cold linkets. I remember my first bike and how you brought it around to the front door after all the other presents and just when I thought I wasn’t going to get it, the doorbell rang and there it was. I figured out later it must have been you cause you were not in the room when “Santa” delivered it, but it was sure great for a long time! I remember 2×4 breakfasts at Kens House of Pancakes on our way to work on the Mountain View Church. I remember your great big smile and the way you used to whistle at us and throw your arm around to tell us it was time to go, just like John Wayne did in the movies. I will miss you alot Dad, say hi to grandma for me and I look forward to seeing you soon! Love, Kev
I’ll miss you Grandpa Bud! You always knew how to make me laugh and I will always cherish those memories. I remember waiting by the window with Brannon and Trevor for you and Grandma Dorothy to pull up in your big RV. “They’re here! They’re here!” We would shout. After days of traveling, you would still let us hang out and play cards in the RV. We thought it was the coolest! Thank you for all the special times. I love you!
You and your family are in our prayers. So sorry for loss. Love, Ken and Pat
May he rest in peace
We were so sorry to hear of Bud’s
passing but know the real Bud had died earlier with the progression of his disease. We choose to remember him as a great shuffle board player, dancer and friend.

WISHING YOU STRENGTH AND PEACE IN THIS TIME OF SORROW FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
LOVE, YOUR NIECE MARY RINEARSON
Our sincerest condolences to Bud’s family. We remember our good times with Bud and Dorothy. God Bless those who are mourning their great loss. We will see you again, Bud. Sorry you had to suffer so long.
To a great Man and Uncle.
We used to have so much fun together taking all the kids for hikes on Sabbath after church; and all the meals we ate together nearly every Sabbath and of course during the holidays. I hated the big separation we had and know that in the new earth we will have great fun just being kids again. I love you Bud!
To My Wonderful Father, My heart is very saddened at this time, but my memories of my Dad will never be forgotten. I will truly miss everything about him. Love you Dad, I’ll see you in Heaven Love you Jody xxxooo
I have such happy memories of the many winters we spent in Royal Palms and the visit you made to Canada.I send my sympathy and love to you Dorothy, and to all of your family. Rest in Peace Bud. We all loved you.
I miss you dad more than words can express. I remember the times you would take us to watch airplanes land and take off for hours. You would tell us what everyone of them were. All the fun vacations to Yosemite with Grandma Walker, Jackie and the Gomzes. The trips to the beach, Vasona picnics and many more memories. I will even miss when you guys lived here last summer, I would see you walking the dog in the park and how you would see me and your eyes would light up when I told you who I was. I hated to see you suffering though especially your last week here with us. You were a great and wonderful father thank you for being mine.
Dad, you will be greatly missed. I know I didn’t make things easy in the early days, and I’m just glad that we had cried with each other and made our piece with each other long ago. I will always remember fondly the many trips in the RV, especially the one up to Canada. My biggest regret is not being able to see you and all the family more during the last 20+ years, I missed out on a lot. I would not have traded you for any other Step-Father in the world. I love you.
Thanks dad for all the special things you did for me. I’ll always remember that you called me “PAL” when we would get a chance to talk. You taught us all how to be responsible, to work hard in life and enjoy family most of all. I’ll never forget working together for a few months at the airport. You gave me the confidence and desire to be the best I could be. My dad, my mentor, my pal, I will miss you so much.
Our condolences to you Dorothy. We considered Bud a good friend. I won’t forget all the poker games we had at Royal Palms. Those were good years. Dorothy, you were a real trooper for the care you gave Bud. You are to be commended for the great job you did.
He will be sorely missed by lots of us at Royal Palms. He was always quick with a joke and a joy to have around.He was one of the few that truly enjoyed the Super Bowl games at our house. He had his special chair. Love and condolences to all of your family. John and Glenda
We want to send our condolences to your family at this sad time. Our Heavenly Father will be extra near all of you at this time. May we all be ready to meet in the New Earth. God bless you all. Wilbur and Donna Richards
We share your grief.
Steve, Bill and Janet
Dear Poppa Bud, It was so great to see you last summer I only wish I could have seen you more through the years, I realy don’t have alot of memories of you but know that the ones I do are all good! I am glad to know that you got to see Sheyenne before you left us! You will be missed pop, Sleep well and we will see you when our father comes to take us home!!
Beloved brother-in-law of deceased Paul Howell and his surving spouse Mildred.Our love to Dorothy and may God bless her in her time of grief.
Well, where should I start. I know you were “just” my step-father but I could not have asked for one better. One of the things I always liked and appreciated was that you treated me with respect and dignity even though I was still a teanager in those early years. The trust you showed in me when you let me borrow your “new” car for MVA Banquet. I loved the fun we had at those friday night Penny Poker games around the dining room table. How serious we all were over the “big pot” on the table. I love how you alsways made me feel welcome at your home. The love we shared for Tapioka Pudding and how excited you would get knowing you’d get some fresh home made when I’d be stopping by in the truck. The Monday Night football games we watched when Jana and I passed through every week for several months go 9’rs The mischeivious glint you’d get in your eye when you were up to something and how you always laughed at my jokes. You always seemed genuanly interested in where I’d been and what I’d been doing since the last time I’d seen you. I appreciated the way you made my Mom feel Special and how well you took care of her and most of all I would like to thank you for all of the wonderfull memories. I’ll miss you a lot but no one can take away those memories. Because I was able to see you so often I always thought there’d be that one last time I’d be able to shake your hand and say “see you next time”. Well I guess that last time has come. I already miss you a lot and look forward to the day we see each other again. Love, Ken
I will really miss Bud.He was so nice to me on the Cruise Trip we had Thanks To Bud and Dorothy Jones.I’m So glad I had the opportuniy to meet him and see what a really great person he was.
Dorthy, Mary and I were surprised and saddened when Rob called us with the news that Bud had gone to rest. We haven’t see either of you for some time now. We remember Bud well, especially when we were in Baja together. Bud was alway a lot of fun to be around, and he did like to play cards. I know he will be greatly missed by his family and sorely missed by the many fiends he had. May Gods blessings of peace and healing be with you, Dorthy. An may you surround youself with family and close friends during this time of grieving. God Bless. Jim and Mary.
Tho we haven’t seen much of Uncle Bud and Aunt Dorothy of late, I’ll miss his ready laugh and teasing…he was always such fun to be around. So sorry for your loss, Aunt Dorothy.
Love,
Carol
Bud was always quick to share a joke! I enjoyed knowing him at church and helping he and Dorothy move up to Citrus Heights. He will be missed by all he knew.
Dear Dorothy: It was a real privilege to baptize you and Bud and to be your pastor from 1974 to 1982. I will never forget how much help both of you were in building the Campbell Church. Bud spent so much time and effort on the electrical work. He saved us thousands of dollars. Both of you served on the Building Committee. You used your talents in assisting in various decorating projects. We remember how much fun we all had in the Merriweds and other social functions of the church. The Lord sent you to us. We love both of you and consider you to be very dear friends. We have had the privilege of meeting most of your family members and they too are precious to us. Jackie is very dear to us as well. What a reunion we are going to have one day very soon! We can hardly wait to see Bud and Pearl again.
Dear Grandpa, Hugs, Unconditional Love, and Humor. That’s how I will remember you! I am so sad you are gone, but whole heartedly believe that we will see you again. So many fun times, hard to pick out just one. In the last year, was happy you moved up near us. You got to know my babies a bit, though you never could quite figure out, how me being soo young I think he thought I was a teenager, could be the mother of two. I will miss your constant worry ; “is someone watching that little girl?”, and warm heart. My heart breaks that you had to experience this disease, but am grateful you didn’t have to suffer too long. I believe you lived a full and wonderful life. Surrounded by those who loved you dearly. I am proud of what kind of man you were, proud to call you my Grandfather. Love, NicoleNikki
Dear Dorothy,
We were so sorry to hear of Buds passing. We remember him as he was, with love.
Dorothy I remember how you were there for me during David’s declining years. It was a great comfort to me. I am sure you will receive loving support from all your family and all your friends that loved you and Bud which includes us. Hope to see you in June when you come down. Be sure to let us know the date.
With Love
Janice and Sam
Our thoughts go with you
Our thoughts go with you
I have many fond memories of Bud from my childhood. My parents and I spent many Sabbath afternoons and evenings with Bud and his wife Dorothy. I remember he and my dad always playing chess. Bud was always a joy to be around and full of laughter. We will miss him and look forward to seeing him again when Jesus comes.
Dorothy, this is a lot of love and support coming your way. Will always remember Bud as being so affable and a pleasure to be around. Will always remember selling tickets for the Bob Hope and our guys weekly poker group. Both of us will always remember the line dancing classes, our travel contacts with the RV bunch to Canada and the 2 of you visiting us at Sand and Surf where we were able to give you guys your first bridge lesson. God bless you at this time and sure hope we see you again in the future. Love, Gaylen and Arzie
A man with a smile, always. He was one of the first members at Campbell to greet me. Camping with the CCC at Monteray Bay Academy. May our Savior hold each family member in his arms, giving comfort.
We are sorry to hear of Bud’s passing. Our prayers are with you all. Sincerely, Russ and Joan
Dear Dorothy: We are sorry to learn of your loss. God bless you during this stressful time. Love, Marlene and Ben
Dear Mom,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you at this time of loss. This is so bittersweet! On the one hand, it’s finally an end to all the agony and suffering with this insidious disease, both for Bud and you. But on the other hand, Bud will be
Always when I saw Bud I would ask “how are you, Bud?” and he always replied “Terrific”.
Bud,YOU were a “terrific” guy who had deep feelings of love for all of your family members. I cannot recall you ever having a harsh word about any person. You have been an inspiration to me and I am so blessed to have been part of your deep feelings of love. I know you are resting in peace.
Dorothy, you are a “terrific” wife, mother and in-law, and grandmother. You gave your all to Bud, especially during the last few years, when the going was tough and lonely for you. Your continual ’love for Bud’ was rewarded by his last words to you of “I love you”. I believe Jesus and Bud together were saying those words to you.
The first time I saw Bud was at the shuffleboard courts. I looked at him and said to myself, who is that good looking man.
Chet and I traveled with Dorothy and Bud in our motorhomes to Zion National Park for a week. We golfed, we played cards and had a great time. When Chet was gone a I was alone Bud would always ask me to dance. He was a great man and I loved him.
Our family lost a great spirit that disappeared slowly and painfully in front of us. He will be missed and a loss to the continual contribution of family in all of us.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you. May God bless your family
Bud and I met when we were stationed together in Marck of 1951 at Columbus, Ohio. We became “best friends” and spent most of our off duty time together.
After Columbus we were again stationed together in Portland, Oregon.I was Bud’s ’Best Man’ when he married Joyce.
While in Portland we bought a 1937 Studebaker together and spent many hours trying to keep it running. It was a challenge!
After Portland we traveled by troop ship to Ashia, Japan. We were in Japan when the Korean War ended. Both of us were sent to different bases in the states. We lost track of each other until I found Bud’s phone number in the National Phone Book.I discovered that he and Dorothy were living in Cathedral City, Ca. Here my wife Pat and I had been spending winters in the Palm Springs area and did not know that they were there. We reunited our friendship and got together during our winters in California. Bud and Dorothy also visited us in Bellingham.
I often think about all the great times that Bud and I had together. He was the brother I never had and a true friend.
I miss him!
Itâ??s impossible to put 30 years of friendship memories into a few meaningful words so we have summarized some of our favoriteâ??s called â??Bud Thingsâ??.
Youâ??ll know if youâ??ve learned a â??Bud Thingâ?? ifâ?¦â?¦.
if Youâ??ve ever put a rubber
He was a wonderful grandfather. Always had a smile and a hug. He will be missed.
I remember the last time he and Grandma came up to visit us. Dad Ken and Jana asked me to make a “dirt cake” which despite it’s name is really good. Anyway, I prepared this cake as any good dirt cake, in a flower pot with silk flowers and a trowel to serve it. Upon arriving at dad’s house, I stuck it in the fridge before Grandpa saw it. At one point in the evening, he wandered into the kitchen, opened the fridge door and just stood there for the longest time staring at that cake. Finally, he turned around and with the funniest look on his face he asked “why are we chilling the dirt?” We all got a kick out of that!
