Although I did not see Buddy for many years, I often thought of him, and the fun times we had going to the drive-ins, driving to get a Dr. Pepper, eating Mexican food ~ I remember him coming to family dinners in the 60s & 70s and bringing his special fruit salad or his "Buddy Beans" recipe with the fried onions on top!  He could be the life of the party, was very loyal, expressed deep thoughts and made us laugh with his unique sense of humor. Buddy was very family oriented & I wish the best for the Machus through their loss.  With deep sympathy, May the Lord bless you and keep you.

For all of us who knew Buddy and the Machu family while growing up and through the years were blessed and our lives enriched!  The McCartney family will always remember and cherish the wonderful memories we made with Buddy ~ his wit, his intelligence, his True Blue friendships, his tears, his joys and all the laughter and fun he gave us!  Theresa and Francis, he loved you and his family above all, and we love you all too.  May God hold you in this loss of your dear brother, and our sweet friend, Buddy.

Rest in Peace my friend, I'm glad to have met you.

Dear family and friends,
I am so sorry for your loss. Buddy was a very special human being--always so kind to everyone and such a joy to be around. I thought his nickname, Buddy, was perfect for him because he was truly a great friend and buddy! I met Buddy at Alamo Heights and my two sisters and I  "hung out" with him since we were all in band together. We have so many fond memories of those days with him. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time. With deepest sympathy,
Marilyn (Fisk) Benedict

I've know Buddy since we were kids in High School. We use to get into mischief and we had many good times together. When I spoke to him recently we reminisced about the old days and his plans for the future. He always made me laugh. My condolences to Buddy's family.  He will be missed.

I met Buddy on the school bus when I was 9 and he was 10.  I was the new kid.  Buddy was my first friend in Alamo Heights.  We remained friends from then on.  Buddy was the kindest person I've ever known.  I will miss him more than I can say.  Love you, Bud!    Jayne

Dearest Buddy,

I am so sorry we did not keep in touch over the years...My two sisters and I enjoyed your kindness and friendship in High School.  I remember our little knock knock joke:

knock knock

who's there?

Buddy

buddy who?

Buddy Machu!

Our family will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Kindly,

Janine (Fisk) Swan

I worked with Bud at UAM for 15 years. He was a great guy and will be missed by many.
Rest in Peace, Bud.

Teresa, Buddy and I were planning a lunch date and then I got busy with daily stuff and didn't follow through. I am so sorry for our loss. He was a precious human being.

I also went to Heights with Buddy. When I had a class with him, he would ocassionaly make a remark that would make the class more bearable. Buddy has always been one of my fond memories of high school. Bon voyage Buddy...

Teresa, my prayers are with you and your entire family.

When things settle down, come see us at Trinity.

Teresa and the rest of Buddy's family. So many of Buddy's classmates from Alamo Heights have expressed their feelings of loss for Buddy on our Facebook group. I want you to know how much he was loved by so many people. We will all miss him.

Oh Buddy, I'm really going to miss you.  Our conversations always made me smile as we talked about the past and looked forward to the future.  I will never be able to drink a "Big Red" or cross the Guadalupe River without thinking of you.  We laughed and we cried through the years but we also made special memories and you will never be forgotten.  Love you, Jeanette Machu Hastings

Teresa and family So sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you and your family during this time 
Sabina Huston and family

I knew Buddy from Alamo Heights High.  I am sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry, spoke to Buddy about 2 months ago and said he could not get over his cough.I thought of him this week, was going to call and see how he was doing. I am heart broken that my friend is gone. My prayers and condolances to the family he left behind. Love you Bud, Maggie

Teresa and Family, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Buddy. I met him while you and I were in high school and I immediately liked him and felt so comfortable with him. I got to know him much better when I started bowling with him. He was such a warm and friendly guy. My prayers go out to you and your family. My love to you all.

Buddy, you will never be forgotten and we will always love you.  May you rest in the love and care of Jesus. We express our deepest sympathy to Teresa and Frances and the family.  May you have many wonderful memories of him. 
We love you, 
Eddy and Pam Machu
