Jean saw Bud's obit in this am paper. She said the Fishers, Fulmers and Browns had been friends for years. She mentioned how fun it was when Bud and Wilma came to the ranch in Lodge Grass. She hasn't run into you in Billings for several years. Jean now lives with me, her daughter Barbara. Thinking of you at this time.

I will so miss seeing Buds pickup truck driving the roads around the Project. He was part of the old guard. I valued his knowledge on all things horse and will miss seeing and conversing with that ole cowboy. He was a treasure. Rest well cowboy you've earned it.

I was so sorry to hear of Buds passing;He reminded me so much of Dick. He used to come over a couple of times a year and it was always a pleasure to visit with him. He was a good man, a good neighbor,and a good uncle. He will be greatly missed by all.
