Bud was a hard worker, spending over 25 years as a welder and fabricator at FMC Corporation in Tipton. He had a great skill in working with his hands and it showed as he produced many wood items from his shop. His love of his family was apparent and it continued to grow as he recently welcomed two new great-grandchildren. Bud had a deep devotion to his Lord and the church. After 95 years he went home to be with the Lord after serving a multitude of years as a deacon for his church. He and his wife also sang in a quartet that ministered to several homecoming events at local churches fueling his love for music. Bud also enjoyed cheering on the Indianapolis Colts during the football season.
