Bud was more than a relative. He was our good friend. He and Mary Lou helped us move from Clarksburg to Grafton and then worked night after night to help us remodel the first home we owned which was on Beech Street. Later it was Bud and Mary Lou who helped us move back to Grafton from Greensburg, Pa. Bud was always there for us and he always told the best stories. He will be greatly missed by everyone in our family. This has been a difficult year for our family. First losing Mary Lou and then so unexpectedly loosing Mike and finally parting with Bud but you could see God working every step of the way. Bud was able to live long enough to be there for Mary Lou for her final journey and Mike was there long enough to work day after day helping Bud in his journey and finally when Bud was too ill to go on God took him home. Through all the sadness there is joy in seeing God's hand at work and relying on His plan.
