The words just don’t come to say how much Bud will be missed. He was certainly one of a kind. I bet he’s eating chocolate chip cookies in heaven. Bud was a great man and as JP put it a shining light. I have many terrific memories of time spent with Bud and Chris. They are my family. Bud is in a much better place, and he lives in our hearts forever.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.I am not there, I do not sleep.I am a thousand winds that blow.I am the diamond glints on snow.I am the sunlight on ripened grain.I am the gentle autumn rain.Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there.I did not die.
Dad ,I miss you ,I hope you found a wonderful and glorious place ,The world was a better place because of you.I have nothing but respect for you and i hope in some way’s i can become like you.
I love you and still need you forever,
Your son misse’s you
Tony.
