Bud Raley was a dear friend to myself and my family.  I had the honor of meeting Bud and Patty through our church here in Marble Falls.  I was blessed to become one of Bud’s fishing partners at a time in my life when I needed such a mentor (having young children, a stressful job and a wife with health issues).  Bud took me under his wing and not only taught me some new fishing techniques but taught me a lot of life’s lessons.  Bud was always super encouraging and nudged me in the right ways to study hard and make promotions at work, he shared with me the ups & downs with such a calm demeanor!  He showed me what love for your family meant as he adored Patty and always talked about his sons & daughter and many grandkids.  Bud had such a gift of connecting with young people as our two sons enjoyed being around his loving, caring manner.   I will always cherish our quality time together and Bud, you are still with me in my boat while I am out there catching the “big ones”! We love you and your family and will miss you dearly.

Bud Raley was a friend and waterski pal for over fourty years.  We shared many days at the Lake Holly Ski Club, where we were both members, as well as yearly trips to Florida.  On a couple of trips to Florida Bud and I pulled the midnight shift driving south and had a chance to talk for hours about life, and all things in general.   One of the greatest tributes I can say for Bud was that my young Jonathan had the benefit of spending time at Lake Holly while Bud and Patty were members and he always remarks of what a special person Bud was and how he admired him.  Impact on a 8 yr old, no greater tribute can be said.  Bud was a special person and will be missed by all who had the benefit of knowing him and his life partner Patty.  RIP BUDRO.
