Uncle Bud... a loving husband, an amazing father, a super grandfather, a fabulous brother-in-law, an outstanding uncle, the man who during the holidays if you were in line at a grocery store ahead of him your groceries would be paid for, the man who would give you a bag of golf balls to golf with, the man who would give your son or daughter a scholarship to help them go to college, the man would just hand over his brand new garage doors because you needed them, the man who helped support so many Athletic teams throughout Minnesota, the man who would take over 30 people to Branson to help celebrate his 50 year Wedding Anniversary, the man who never let you pay for a meal even when you are the one who asked him to go out to eat, the man who secretly paid for your meal when you weren't with him and you left not knowing who paid, the most generous man, the man with the kindest heart, the man with the most gentle hugs and the man with the "love you big bunches"... (and soooooo much more)... I miss him, but I know he will always be with me. ♥ Rest in peace Uncle Bud.Carlton, MN 09/11/2012 9:23 AM
