One of the finest men – loving, kind, always ready to help. Our historian, he taught us so much about the area. Always quick with a joke, he kept us all laughing. He was loved and will be dearly missed by all. Until we meet again …
He was preceded in death by his son Byron Clifford and daughter Misti Juel. He is survived by his sister Eva Joyce Ledlow, and a slew of nieces and nephews.
The Family will be celebrating Uncle Bud’s life on Saturday afternoon, May 30th at Lake Lillian.
