So sad to hear of Bud’s passing. He and Joyce (and her parents) were such warm and gracious hosts when we rented part of their beautiful old home on Phillips Rd when I was in law school in 1976-7.
Bud always made us feel welcome and allowed our rather large and sometimes noisy dog, Baldar, to live with us without a problem.
I had just lost my Dad and Bud was a strong and reassuring figure for me when I needed one. No criticism, just warmth and support even though we met as total strangers.
I will always be grateful to him and to Joyce for taking us in and showing us love.
We are married 43 years this year; our two beautiful kids are grown and we hope only for the best for Joyce and for Carol and Barbara at this difficult time.
