WE SEND OUR MOST SORROWFUL SYMPATHY TO THE KRETZER AND LESMEISTER FAMILIES.
Bud will be remembered in our family as a happy, fun-loving man who cherished his family and brought laughter and joy to those around him. My sincere and heartfelt sympathy to Brad, Laura, Kevin, Heather, and all the grandchildren. Bud was one of a kind in the best way! God’s peace be with him and all the family.
Sending love and strength to all of you during this very difficult time. Uncle Bud will forever be in our hearts. We have wonderful memories.
Our sympathy and peace to all family members to lose your Papa to this virus. May eternal light shine upon him.
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Prayers and condolences to family and friends of Buds. I got to know him while working at Garden Place. He was quite a character…always witty with his conversations. He will be missed…rest in peace Bud.
