Bud was also a member of VFW #9820 and the NALC (National Assoc. of Letter Carriers). He played and coached 16 inch slow pitch softball, bowled in leagues and tournaments. Bud enjoyed travel, including his 6 week Australia adventure. He also enjoyed vegetable gardening, cooking, commercial free TV, current events, a really good deal, and triple coupons. He was an avid Chicago sports fan, especially the Bears and Cubs; he lived to see the 2016 Cubs World Series Championship. Most of all Bud loved time spent with family, friends and their pets.
