He worked in management with Independent Stave Company for Jim Boswell for a time, owned two variety stores, and had been a longtime beef farmer.
Bud had made his profession of faith in Christ at a young age and was a longtime member of First Baptist Church in Lebanon.
He was a member of the Lebanon Rotary Club, the Lebanon Park Board, the Lebanon City Council and was elected Mayor of Lebanon three terms. Bud had great love and respect for Lebanon as evidenced by his service with the Red Cross, the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks, the Literacy Council, the Lebanon/Laclede County Library, and the Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors.
He enjoyed being outdoors where his favorite activities were hunting, fishing, and farming. He also had a fondness for cats. He loved his family dearly and greatly enjoyed having time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Bud was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and was a caring friend. We celebrate his life and know that he will be fondly remembered as a devoted family man, a man of faith, a dedicated supporter of the City of Lebanon, a committed community leader and a caring friend to many.
