I want to say how much I will miss my Uncle Bud. He was my favorite Uncle and he was so good to all of us and our children. He and Aunt Norma would visit Dansville almost every year so we got to see him alot. I now visit Dunedin often and would always stop at the American Legion in Dunedin to see him and have a drink. Rest in peace Uncle Bud and Aunt Norma you are both together again. Love your Niece Debbie
