To the Proffitt family, my husband and I are very sorry for your loss! May Bud's soul rest in peace!Mirtha and Brian Ortery
Mariann- Your comment is really a beautiful tribute to Bud's Memory. Although we knew Bud for only the last year and a half as his tenant , it was a apparent that he has a very special and truely kind gentleman. We will miss him greatly and especially miss texting him at 1:30 in the morning when the toilet leaked !! I will never forget him. Michael Kane and Mark Sitrin
Bud was our landlord, and we will miss him greatly. He was always good spirited and always stayed on top of things that needed to be done. He once told us that he talked to us more in one month than he had ever talked to any tenant. I asked him if that was a good thing and he replied: I Dunno. Our condolences to his Family and may you find peace in the days ahead. Stay strong Randy- you were your Dads right hand man. Michael Kane and Mark Sitrin
Growing up there were so many good memories. One of my favorite memories is when you drove your bug with the sunroof up the hill of our yard with your head sticking out. I am sure our neighbors thought you were crazy.The trip to Florida was amazing. Traveling the coastline to see how many states we could hit. Disney World and Elvis Presley mansion in that trip. Sleeping on the beach in Daytona because we happened to be traveling through at the time of the Daytona Races. Loved it! Memories I will forever cherish and I still talk about when someone asks what places I have been to. Nothing tops that trip. You were always including Sherrie and I in things. You were the best!Honored that you were there to unite Ken and In in marriage too. Will always cherish the good times and miss you! Till we meet in heaven….
When I heard Bud was so ill, it brought so much sadness to my heart. You all were so happy and enjoying life. While there are no answers to the whys, I am extremely thankful we do know the answer to where. I'm sure Bud has checked the refrigerator to see if it's stocked or dusty on the top.My memories make me laugh. The conversations we all had and the many many times we spent hours planning and the layer traveling as a group in Outreach of Love. The question, what is a firkin had so many answers we could have written a book!Your memory will always make me smile. The tears I shed are only because you left before we were ready to let you go.Debra, I think you know how much I love you. Randy, you are a strong man. So much like your parents. Just remember all the good days!Rhonda Spilman.
I want to thank those that have sent thoughts and prayers to our family. We really appreciate it very much. Debra
My uncle Buddy was a great man. i will truly miss him. i always remember how much fun i had with him. i will never forget him.
We lost a great man on Monday, but heaven gained a wonderful soul. There are too many things to say about Bud in such a short space. He was one of a kind, a man of â??Godâ?, which reflected in all he did, and God used him to touch so many lives. If he was your friend he had an unstoppable loyalty, and his moral compass was a great example for all. He came across as being rough and tough, but the truth is he was a big teddy bear and would do anything to help those in need. He loved his family so much and they were always a part of conversations. His wife, Debra, gave him purpose, his Son, Randy, made him proud, and those grand babies were what kept him young. We were honored to have him call us friendsâ??, and so blessed to work with him for many years on a common project. You will surely be missed my friend, but never forgotten. Your good deeds will be rewarded, and your memory will stay in our hearts forever. Bill & Mariann
I met Bud, Debra, & Randy about 4 years ago. It didn't take long to realize this was a great family. As Bud met my kids, he was always joking and having fun with them. I loved talking politics and religion with him and he always had an opinion on both, ha. Toward the end, he always had had a big smile on his face with a funny comment to go along with it. He will be missed. â??Earth holds no sorrow that Heaven canâ??t mend.â?
Many years ago Bud had come to preach at our Church. He came home with us for Sunday dinner. Grilled steaks was on the menu that day. While they were grilling, I became distracted and they were burnt black. As I was taking them off the grill, in process of throwing them away, Bud said "don't do that, that is exactly how I like them." He was not kidding, he really did eat his black steak that day.Willard and Lenora Fugate
