  Bud and I go back a long way. I remember him and Brenda from the Lesiuk Bible Study in 1979, the year Jesus saved me. Bud was all that the other persons in these Condolences have said and more. He will be missed also by the Full Gospel Businessmen where he served at the annual men's camp for years. I only recently heard about Buds health problem. For a Christian it is a great thing to be with the Lord but he will be missed by all of us that had the privilege of knowing Bud.

  Our thoughts and prayers are with Bud's family. Bud was definitely one of the nicest man you will ever meet and a great pleasure to know and work with. We always enjoyed the Santa bus and Bud's magic touch. We appreciated Bud's expertise in the maintenance department. Bud will be missed by all.

  Bud drove me from Rutland to KSS back in the 90's. While I never knew him outside of that, I could see he was a nice man who truly enjoyed people. The last time I saw him was about ten years ago, manning a double decker bus on display at Downtown Mardi Gras. I'm glad to say he was part of my life, and I'll remember him fondly. Peace on your journey, Bud.

  We attended the same church as your family some years ago. Our memories of Bud are fond ones. He always reached out to all those around him, no matter who they were, he loved them all. His smile and his genuine love for people and his Jesus is what we have always remembered. He was a true reflection of Jesus! Our love and prayers go out to you, Brenda and your family. May you also find comfort in the very arms of the One who is hugging your Bud!!

  Bud drove my friends and I to KSS every day over 20 years ago. We loved him (which says a lot when a teenager likes a bus driver). He was a great man, and a dear friend to my parents, Chris and Cathy Jennens. My condolences to his family. Im sure he left quite a legacy of awesome people. May he rest in peace.

  Every year at Christmas time Bud would help out with the Santa Sleigh Bus. He built a lot of stuff on the bus. He will be missed. I remember him always smiling when the children came on the bus to see Santa. There smiles were uplifting to all of us on that bus. Bud was a wonderful man who was so gracious towards others. He will be missed by my family. Our thought and prayers are with your family and friends. The lives of everyone he touched will miss him deeply.

  To the Joyner family, very saddened to learn of the passing of Bud. Many of us in the blind community were appreciative of Bud's help whenever we travelled on his bus. He was friendly, always willing to lend a hand and assisted us with helping getting off at the proper bus stop. He was a pleasant person to deal with and always brightened your day when we came in contact with him. He always talked highly of his sons and was so proud of both of you. Our condolences to you all at this most difficult of time.
