    Bud was a life time friend. I lived beside the Waltons for 23 years in a great family community. Bud was always willing to assist anyone in need throughout his life. He was always so proud and dedicated to his family farm and he shared it with others. He will be missed by many. RIP Bud

    Kathy and family,
    Frankie shared many memories with Bud in his hay day. They were best fishing buddies and shared a life of friendship. I remember his smile and he would always honk or wave when he passed our farm. We know you will miss him dearly as many, many others.
    Know we love you and feel your loss.
    God bless the life and memories of Bud.
    Frank & Barbara Brady family

    So sad. Bud has been a neighbor on Walton Road for almost 40 years. Fond memories of meals at the Surrey Inn and his always helping to plow a driveway or lend a hand. Rest in peace my old friend.

    Barbara Jean and Donald and the rest of the Walton family, I have many fond memories of growing up with your brother during the 60’s and spending time at Surrey Inn. I ate many lunches there over the years. We would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the family at this difficult time but I know many great memories will be shared over the next weeks as people tell their stories about Bud. Hopefully these will get you through this this time of sadness. May he rest in peace.
