It was a pleasure to know Bud these past few years. He and I both worked on the Tuesday AM shift for the past ten years at the San Diego Temple, where he was a mentor to many of us who started there after he did. He would share his stories of growing up in Southeastern Idaho (where my wife also grew up). One of his favorite stories was about when he and his family travelled to the temple in a big truck to be sealed as a family. I admired his dedication to swimming and softball but mostly I admired his dedication to family and the gospel. He was an example to us and I will miss him greatly.
