Dear Coleen and family….I am very sorry to hear of the passing of your dad….I will keep you and your family in my prayers. God bless all of you….Gary
I am so sorry to hear of your father’s passing. It seems not that long ago that Mary Ellen and Bill worked in theatre with me at school and in the community. I remember your parents’ support and concern. To have raised a large family is a tough and life-long job. I’m sure you made that job easier as you grew older. My thoughts are with you today and any time I think of my years in greece.
I was so sorry to hear of Bud’s passing. He was a wonderful Dad and Husband and I will hold many fond memories of the years that I shared with him and the family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers- With Love, Lorrie
i’ve only known him a very short time but he was the sweetest man, and his wife is wonderful person too. hope u find comfort that he went in peace. your friend and aide , tammy
Just want the family to know my thoughts and prayers are with them.
Though I never met Bud, I know my dad Bill Mills was a great friend of his. I have grown up hearing of times at Eastman Kodak and of course, the golfing. I know my father will miss Bud tremendously and in this time of sorrow, I hope your family remembers all the good times that were shared. I know that my father has lost a good frined, but he will always treasure the times he spent with Bud. God Bless you all in your time of sorrow.
