Dear Jackie and Family,
I was sorry to hear that Bud has passed. I regret that I was unable to pay my respects in person. I have many fond memories of driving to Ames to play softball with Bud. He was a delightful person who will be missed. May God bless Bud and be with you during this time of remembrance.
