Sending love and heartfelt sympathy to Maureen and her family on the passing of her beloved husband. I’m holding you close xo
It is hard to say goodbye to someone who was always there for everything, who was part of our family. For the past 30 years, our best friends, have always been with us, always together. With Bud's passing, a void echoes through us. A void we try to replace with great memories of a Loving, Kind, Fun Loving, Outgoing man. A man who loved his family so deeply, loved his friends, loved people and would always help someone in need. A man who loved hockey (Leafs), baseball (Jays), football, golf, hitting trees with golf balls, euchre games, and Bud loved the most Maureen, Andrew, Jacqueline, Zach and Rusty. He was so proud of them. Bud fully lived and loved. We had a wonderful time together. We thank you and will always love you. Dabougie !
