Bud was always faithful to Clara and family. I remember how he was faithful to bring Clara to church each week, even during bad weather. He will be missed.

With deep despair we heard of the passing of our wonderful friend Bud Prock. Without Bud, my mother never would have survived. He was one of the nicest people I have ever known. He and Clara are together again with our Lord.
