Loved and very deeply missed by many nieces and nephews. Also a longtime friend to Wilf Peck whom he shared many stories of their trucking days and his daughter Tracey. Bud was a Veteran who served in the Second World War as a Merchant Marine. Retired as truck driver from Smith Transport and C.P. Transport after 38 years. His passion was farming, with a variety of animals (like old MacDonalds farm) when his children were young. Then later on in his life pride and joy was raising limonsin cattle and selling bulls in Omemee. Those who knew him loved and respected him for his strong drive to keep family together. He had an incredible memory for dates of family details, always telling stories with great humor.

Interment to follow with reception at the funeral home. Gratitude and appreciation for all the staff and residents at Applewood Retirement Home who were so kind and compassionate, so giving of their time to our Father, he enjoyed joking and having fun with so many there. To the incredible staff at PRHC in the Palliative Care Unit, it takes a special kind of person to work in this area and you far exceeded everything we could possibly ask for. Very attentive and full of dedicated heartwarming love for our Father. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
