Following his high school graduation, Bud became a journeyman carpenter and later, general contractor.

Father to four sons, Bud's larger-than-life presence and unwavering commitment to family life served as an inspirational model to his boys. Bud's and Grace's 62-year marriage has been a living testament to their deeply-held beliefs, sacred commitment to one another, and active prayer life.
