    Bud was someone who once you met him you never forgot him. He was a master at joke telling. Friendly to all and always with a smile on his face. Our deepest sympathy to his beautiful family and long list of friends who were blessed to have him in their lives. Rest in peace.

    "The roll of the workmen has been called, and one Master Mason has not answered to his name. He has laid down the working tools of the Craft and with them he has left that mortal part for which he no longer has use. His labors here below have taught him to divest his heart and conscience of the vices and superfluities of life. Strengthened in his labors here by faith in God, and confident of expectation of immortality, he has sought admission to the Celestial Lodge above."

    Our heartfelt love and sorrow is displayed today for Bud's family. Charlene; David (Sheryl) Brown; daughter Jennifer (John) Fayak; his loving granddaughters, Sydney and Sarah Brown, Lindsey and Lexie Fayak; sister Sharon Moore; brother Jon Brown; brother-in-law Kenny Unger and his furry companion Sadie. Never having a blood brother Bud is the closest one could ever have if they were his true friend. Anyone that did not know him missed out on a very happy spirited person that was proud of practical jokes and the art of procrastination. We did many things together and always kept our brotherly love and family values joined. Others that knew him at all knew how excited he got with his snicker when he thought he got away with something. I will forever have memoriesof Bud engraved on my heart for he can and will never be replaced.
