I am so thankful that I got to know Buddy. He was always so caring, kind and helpful. Another person that has now passed that had high regard for Buddy was Margaret W. Milhorn. She held the office of Register of Voters for Sullivan County for many years. I was fortunate to have met his beautiful family at the Gray Fair many years ago.He was so excited that i got to met you all ! He was so proud of you all and your girls were very young. I will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers . But know i never forgot your Husband, Father and Grand Dad.
