Bud graduated from Wyandotte High School in 1954 and married Selma Sievering in Kansas City, KS that December. From 1955 to 1959, Bud honorably served on The USS Ranger Aircraft Carrier for the United States Navy. Upon completion of his military service, he returned to work for Hallmark Cards for 39 years in several roles including machinist and management. He also served the Kansas City and Estes Park communities as a volunteer Police officer.

Throughout his life in Kansas City and Estes Park, Bud was a member of Brenner Heights Baptist Church, 47th St Southern Baptist Church, Estes Park Baptist Church, and Hyde Chapel YMCA in Estes Park.

Instantly recognizable by his signature brown leather cowboy hat, Bud enjoyed playing his guitar, outdoor water sports, riding his motorcycle, and traveling the world. His travels included Hawaii, Mexico, Germany, Costa Rica, Japan, Greece, Italy and Switzerland. Bud was also known for his many unique collections which included ball caps, walking sticks and oil lamps. Later in life he most enjoyed going hiking with his grandchildren and his nieces and nephews.
