Steve,



I am very sorry for your loss. Mr. Bud was one of the finest men I have ever known. You were very lucky to have this man in your life as well as he was very lucky to have you in his life.



I know Mr. Bud was a very sick man at the end. I really admire what you did for your father. The last couple months you had with your father, you will never forget. You know its funny, but when we are small and need our parents the most, they are alway there, but when they get older and need us, you were definitely there. Be proud of that fact.



I met Mr. Bud when I was 11 years old. He was also a father figure in my eyes. He was a great man.



Love You

Keller Family, I am so sorry to have just heard of your loss. My mother, Shirley Keller Gaudin, is a cousin. I remember as a child going to Ramah to visit Bud, Angie, and Verda. That was more years ago than I care to admit to. Our deepest sympathy to all your family.
