Uncle Bud helped raise me, with alot of help from Aunt Susie. I spent alot of time with him growing up on the farm. He referred to me many times as "that darn kid". Rightly so. But he was such a great man and so few people realize that. He was so honest about everything. If only we had more people like him today.
My condolences to you, Jimmy and to your mom, Aunt Susie. I'm sure the whole Brown clan is very sad at his passing, but he's in a much better place now. God rest his soul.
