We will miss you dearly Mr. Bud. I recall the many weeks Bud, Penny and Grady would travel to the farm to spend the weekends. I remember it being most Friday nights, even if midnight or 1:00AM, looking up the long dirt road to see the darkness cut by headlight from a White/Tan Chevy truck. The entire family tired as Bud in coveralls and Serge (Pit-bull Mix) rolled out of the truck, dust-a-flying, as they made their weekly marking of the fence posts after a long drive from the "Big City".
I remember the Saturday nights as Bud and family were sitting around the camp fire enjoying the night stars and maybe a bottle of tequila (worm optional). Bud would let out with a howl like a wolf sitting on the mountain side gathers the solders to hunt. My dad in return would answer in the same fashion as they took turns and the chants echoed in the bottom oak trees. Followed with laughter, gentleman's handshakes, and high fives as we climbed in our truck to go to Bud's to share the burning timber under the old oak tree.
Just a few memories of Mr. Bud and family.
God Bless the Family.
