Please accept my sincere condolences to your family on the loss of your beloved, Bud. Although I did not personally know him, his eulogy clearly indicates that he was a cherished husband, uncle, brother, and friend. It is horrible that we must lose such dear ones to death for we want to live and we want to enjoy life with those we love. And if we had the power to do so, we would bring our loved ones back to us. Please know that you can find true hope and comfort in the scriptures, for it reassures us that we can see our dead loved ones again. The Bible teaches that most people who have died will be resurrected. Jesus Christ himself promised that “those in the memorial tombs will…come out.” (John 5:28, 29) In harmony with God’s original purpose, those resurrected humans will have the opportunity to live on a paradise earth. (Luke 23:43) This promised future includes perfect health and everlasting life for obedient humans. The Bible reassures us that “the righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Psalm 37:29) Other scriptures that bear witness to this are Job 14:14, 15; Luke 7:11-17; and Acts 24:15. Please take comfort in this hope and the future joy it holds out to us who, for now, grieve the loss of these we hold dear. Most sincerely, Charvian
Bud will be sadly missed by my wife and I.
My wife had the pleasure of meeting Bud and Joy shortly before we were married. We were able to visit them occasionally as we lived out of province. We always made an effort to visit them when we were back in Ontario. We had some great times. I will also cherish my memories I had of Bud as a young boy. Bud would take me around London to see all his friends when he was on vacation. I credit Bud with introducing me to my first career as a rail worker that spanned 24 years, taking me across Canada.
Bud had many friends at CN Rail and will be missed greatly by his fellow colleagues.
You will be sadly missed, Uncle Bud. I know we didn’t get to see each other as much as we had in the past. It’s very difficult when we lived so many miles apart. You were always in my thoughts and always will be. I miss the times with you and Aunt Dorothy. We spent every holiday together. These are times I will never ever forget. Shovelling snow for the elderly, going for picnics in Stratford on the Avon River, with my Aunt and brother Joey when you had to stay there for work, taking me to meet your friends and making up songs with Joey and I about the railroad and the guys you worked with. These are the things I cherished. You were a big part of my life and always will be. I’ll see you in the future.
Love your neice, Debbie
I have only known Bud the past three years that I have worked at Middlesex Terrace. But in those three years he certainly won a place in my heart. I will definitely miss his smile and his keen sense of humour. Barb and family please take comfort in knowing because of you he knew he was loved.
Sorry I was unable to come to the visitation. My thoughts & prayers are with you Barb, Al & family. I enjoyed visits with Bud when he was in Jeff’s room. He thought that he worked with Jeff but he did work with Jeff’s older brother Ken. What a small world. Take care.
