You've gained your glory in Heaven Uncle Bud. Rest in peace. My deepest condolences Scotty, April, Dawn, and Michelle. Kelly Kaiser-Cottom
What a great loss! He was like a father to me when I worked at Geneva Rubber. Always knew the right things to say to keep me on the straight and narrow path! I will always remember how he was also there for me when the train hit my car on the Geneva tracks many years ago and had to explain it to my husband at the police station when he came to get me. He explained everything and calmed my husband before I had to talk to him. The world lost a caring and kind person who would do anything for anyone! RIP my Friend! ?? Prayers to the family! Our Condolences to You All!
