My brother Eric sent me the obituary of Buddo. I wanted to share that I met him on several occasions,as well, when he was up in Duluth visiting my Dad, Frank Skadsberg. I would sit in the living room and laugh my head off as they told stories of child hood and WW11. He was one of a dying breed of characters that I miss. I send my sympathies. He was a gentle man as I recall as well. Frank's daughter AliceDuluth, MN 07/23/2012 3:07 PM
