With his charm and intellect, Bud was able to engage most anyone in a conversation that would make that person come away with a smile. No one could deliver a joke better. If you made him laugh, your day was made. He took pride in his vast knowledge of just about anything, however; if you proved him wrong on a subject, you’d be rewarded with a grin and an anecdote.
Bud’s passion was the Marine Corps and golf. The preceps of the Marine Corps of Honor, 
Loyalty and Commitment guided his life. He was staunch supporter of the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation. Bud served as President of the Bellevue Men’s Golf Club where he was a member for many years. He was also a member of the Mt. Si Golf Men’s Club.
