Dale and family and of course to Mary. Will you pass on my sympathies to her. I am so sorry to hear about your father.
Of course i knew him from childhood and a little story I like to tell is that when my Mum died, she left notes on children and she said my first words were Buddy, not Mama or Dada. Was he
teasing me even at that young age.
Bud lived a very active life and was able to work until so very recently, That is really an accomplishment. I am leaving for Barbados on Tuesday but will be thinking of all of you
on the 4th. A big hug to all, Irene

Buddy was Walter's first boss and mentor at Air Operated Equipment. Before we were married, we used to visit your house quite often, Dale. You were just a baby. Your Dad gave us advice on all sorts of things - from buying a house to recovering a sofa. (Although sometimes his advice was 'tongue in cheek'). Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.
