My sincere condolences on the loss of my friend, Buddy, as I knew him. He was somewhat of a superhero when we were in school; great athlete and a straight A student…I admired him very much. He will be missed. God Bless and Rest in Peace, my old friend.

My sincerely condolences.
Bud and Linda were part of our fraternity Gourmet Group in the 70″s in Chicago where we all got jobs post Bachelors graduation.
Bud was an Annexer . . . I was a Houser. I remember him and D Healy playing frisbee cross 4th St, when the annex still stood. I remember, too, that he was patient with me, as I was always behind in house bills.
I remember, too, his marriage to Gaileh
May he rest in peace

My sincere condolences to Bud’s family. He will be greatly missed. I fondly remember the years we shared as an AKL brother at the U of I. Bud was a great brother, friend, leader to those who needed it, supporter of all, and a mentor to so many. I’m grateful to have shared a few years with him–wish it had been more.

I’m so sorry to hear of my Cousin Bud’s Passing. I have many wonderful memories when we would visit the Tice kids when they all lived on the farm. Bud and my brother would always spend time together and I loved spending time with Kit and Jack! I will be praying for you Gaileh! May God bring you Comfort in this difficult time.

As a Greenview High School teacher for 5-years, I recall Bud being an outstanding student,
great thinker and a real gentleman.
