Condolence: Uncle Bud was great! I remember him coming up to our house when I was younger and my mom fixing a "huge" pot of spaghetti and he ate until he made himself sick. His belly ballooned up like he was 9 months pregnant. Unfortunately, he didn't learn because the next day he went for the pot of spaghetti again!!!
Even though I didn't see him often in his later years because of the distance, he was thought of quite often. Especially when he made the trip up to Washington for my moms funeral several years back. That was really special to me and my dad.
Condolence: Bud and I were brothers and we were close in age, so we always got in trouble together, fought like cats and dogs, made up and then started back at it again! Just like typical "Brown's"...
I will miss my big brother, and wish I could attend to say my final good bye's, but I know that Bud would understand and I will see him again one of these days.
Thank you for being a great big brother throughout the years.
