We were saddened to hear that Bud’s battle to stay alive for his best friend, Bear, is over. Yet knowing how much he quietly suffered, it really was a blessing.
Bud was industrious throughout his life and loved the great outdoors. In his spare time he worked with his hands building fanciful creations and because of his intrinsic generosity, we are privileged to own a couple of them.
Our sympathies go out to his family at this difficult time.

We know how much your father tried to stay on this earth to look after his best friend ‘Bear’, but he was getting tired and had to move on. Curtis did go to the hospital to say good-bye to him.
He was a kind and giving person.
