As a young boy in San Anselmo I would walk to the library, just around the corner from the Fire Department. Chuck was a childhoom chum and Bud was the ever welcoming, smiling, make-you-feel-happy fireman that could make a little kid feel important and embraced.
His warmth was so consistent, his inviting smile so infectious that it made you feel good all the rest of the day. Visiting him often in the Fire House was so special to me.
I am sitting here in San Jose, CA, 2015, just having learned of Bud's passing via the internet, feeling profoundlly sad that it was too long ago we last met, yet also feeling so happy that Bud lived a long life and obviously continued to touch so many people in only the way Bud could.
I was blessed to know Bud, Ruth and Chuck's dad. Chuck, what a great uncle you had and I'm so glad you were there for him.
