The senior centre kitchen thrived under the care of Bud and Jo. Your smiling faces and good humour and great grub was enjoyed by many. He was a great asset to the Water Street and Parkinson Activity Centre kitchens. So sorry for your loss.

Bud and Jo were are next door neighbours for nearly 20 years. We always looked forward to chatting and having a chuckle with Bud in the backyard, not to mention the water fights with the hose! You couldn't ask for better neighbours, or better friends. Joe, we are so sorry that you have lost your soulmate and best friend. May the memories of the wonderful life and good times you had together give you strength to carry on each day. He will be missed.

Heartfelt condolences to all your family.

Love, Darlene and Jack Denney
