I was very saddened to hear about Buddy. Buddy was a very close friend to my family in New Boston. You couldn't ask for a better man than Buddy as he had a kind, gentle, and caring spirit for everyone. He will be dearly missed by all my family. I'll never forget the times I have visited him and hunted and fished on his land. He was such a nice gentleman and is in God's care now. My thoughts, prayers, deepest sympathy are with all his family in the difficult days ahead. May God give you all peace and strength. Your friends, family, and my family are standing with you during this time.
