My memories of Uncle Bun are from when I was a little girl. He was my "favorite" uncle and I always thought I was his "favorite" niece! I remember lots of laughs and fun at Grandma and Grandpa's and weekends on the farm! I will always think of Uncle Bun as my other "dad" and I loved him dearly. Thank you Uncle Bun for making my childhood fun and showing me how much an uncle can mean to a little girl and her family! Over the years we've lost touch but you're always in my heart and always will be. Love, Trudy
