Bud and Jan played an important role in my life "with the just us singers" on our travels Bud cut a pair of Vocal Master speakers in half so it would be easier to carry around. He was a handy guy to have around. My wife and I would see them often at Burger King in Marion Ohio after Church.
He will be missed by all who knew him.

We send you sincere condolences on Bud's passing. As distant "big city" cousins, our visits were infrequent, but always enjoyable. Bud was always calm, cool and capable; but for us, it was always the duo, "Bud and Janice". They were perfect examples of small town, country goodness, friendliness and hospitality. Now, after a year apart, they are once again "Bud and Janice". All our love to the whole family.

I was sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I have such great memories of Bud and Jan and their service to the Lord at First Baptist in Richwood. I Remember Bud's parents and seeing them at the Moores Store and at church. They were all positive influences! And to you who are left behind, may the Lord wrap you in his love until we all meet again in Heaven at his feet. I'm sure Bud and Jan are together again!
Peace to all, Jim And Betty Anderson

Dear Yayon, Pam,Sean and Wendy and Family...
My sincere condolences on the passing of Bud. He and Janice will always be a fond memory of my childhood. The time in the summers we (Liz and I) spent with you was truly a "country" blessing.
I remember when my daughter Katie and I came to celebrate the anniversary..I felt as though I had never been away. Like I was a child again.
May you all be comforted with your beautiful memories. Love, Chrissy

Dear Bud's Family,
I have known Bud for many years but many years between lost. I will miss him a lot, he had a great sense of humor, you always knew where Bud stood he did not mince words. I got more acquainted through his wife Jan in past few years. Through Jan I found I loved goats and Jan loved her goats. I think Bud put up with it but didn't love them like Jan did. Bought my first goats from them, Tom, Dick and Harry, also my donkey from them as well. They were both good Christian friends and I knew if I needed anything they were there for me. I am blessed they were in my life.
