Hi Ray Ray and Robert, I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Buddy passing away. I was fortunate to have had the privilege of visiting him when I was back this past August. I went to Trinity/Ohio Valley Hospital and me, Nicole and Debbie Pickford (Bill's wife) visited Uncle Bud. He was so funny, seriously, when I took his picture with Aunt Debbie and Nicole, I said "say cheese", Bud said "Monkey Shit". It was hysterical, Nicole fell off his bed laughing. Anyhow, I will send you the pictures as he looked really good and was in high spirits. Of course, when you have 3 women in your room, fussing over you how could you not feel special. Again, my best to you both and I will miss him. My Love, Cuz Pam

I cannot begin to find the words to express my sympathies on Bud' untimely passing,just hours after my own brother passed away. I find myself still trying to accept my brother's death and trying to deal with Bud's is overwhelming. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this unfortunate time. May God bless you all. Keith
