I have always known "Bud" as Pa. He was there since I was 14 years old or so. He may have come across as rough and tough and gruff, but he had a heart of gold and always had time to share. His little jokes and antics wont be forgotten. I am sorry to say that the last goodbye I said to him was like five years ago -before I moved away. I wish I had kept in touch personally thru out the years but I didnt. I can say that Pa and Ma Mallette were and have been in my thoughts along with Kenny, Springer, Sandy, Tiggie and John John since my moving. I am sorry that they only know this thru situations like these. Just letting you all know that I am thinking of yous in your time of sorrow. Love and hugs to yous.</b></font><br><br>
