Survived by his children Ed (& Chris), Bob's wife (Eloise), Jean DeLong (& Jim), Bill (& Melodee); thirteen grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Bud served in the Army in Italy in WWII and five additional years in the Navy Reserve after returning home. His first civilian job was driving for Metro-transit, followed by the Fire Dept., both in Seattle. His life-long career was serving as an agent for Farmers Insurance until retirement in 1985.

He had many years of enjoyment while RV traveling around the country, including on the road to Alaska. Each person in both families will miss his cheerful personality, loving nature and the great stories he always shared.
