I was so sorry to learn of Bud's passing. I knew him as the crossing guard I passed each day on my way to work. I never knew Bud personally, but his smiling face and his wave hello warmed my heart. I always thought to myself, this is the kind of man our world needs more of. He seemed like a very kind and gentle soul who was honest, and committed to his family. I will miss his warm smile and wave. Rest in peace Bud and know that your presence in this world warmed even the hearts of those who knew you only by sight. 

With sympathy,

Julie Blaufarb
Teacher at Bardonia Elementary School

Mr. Fuchs, our neighbor, was one of the kindest people I have ever known. As surely so many others do, I have fond memories from my youth in Bardonia of the profound decency of Mr. Fuchs, as well as that of Mrs. Fuchs. They were the charitable, reliable people that God wants us to be.

My family was so fortunate to have them as neighbors. They would always be there, as stand-in parents in an emergency, to regularly put forth small acts of kindness, and to be supportive friends. 

Funny, even now, so many years later at his passing, simply saying "Mr. Fuchs" evokes the memory and spirit of a good man. May God bless you, Mr. Fuchs.
