Buddy enjoyed placing a wager on anything whether it be a card game with 2 special groups of friends, horse racing, casinos, or a game of bingo. He absolutely loved to travel and achieved a life goal of visiting all 50 states. He was an avid model train collector and was always known as a phenomenal dancer. He used his guidance while coaching little league baseball and football.

During the holidays, Buddy followed in his father’s footsteps and would dress as Santa Clause for church and other events around town.

He was a loving man and will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure to know him.
