Beveardge "Bud" Leslie Cash Sr.

Beveardge (Bud) Leslie Cash Sr. 88, died peacefully December 11, 2019, surrounded by family. Bud will be missed daily by so many that loved him, especially his family. It is impossible to list his titles without writing a book. He has left a legacy that will never be forgotten. He gained a plethora of titles during his life: Lt. Commander U.S. Navy Retired, Combat Veteran, Aviator, Marine Engineer, Harbor Pilot, Diver, Realtor, Business Owner, Entrepreneur, Farmer, Volunteer, and leader of many civic and church organizations. His most important title was, Family Anchor. His commitment to his family, friends, and community was endless. He never met a stranger and was always willing to do anything for anyone. He loved reading a great book, discussing politics at his and others peril, dancing with his wife Bertha, and traveling with her. A highlight for him was fixing breakfast on the weekends for his family, even when his children didn’t like getting up so early. Spoiling his grandchildren and going to animated movies, would be another topping his list. Then there was the Cash road trips that most people would call insane. He was always willing to go along with any crazy idea his family cooked up, if it meant more time with them. He especially loved and was loved by his parents, siblings, wife, children, grandchildren, nephews, nieces, special friends, and many pets. He was one of a kind that gave selflessly and unconditionally. Dad, now you know you are missed and will never be forgotten. A celebration of his life will be held, 2PM on January 4, 2020, at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, 4311 W San Miguel St. Tampa FL 33629, followed by a reception in the parish hall.
