Bud graduated from Wasatch High School and from Utah Valley State College in electrical engineering. He served in the Korean War in the 7th Armored Division, 440th Armored Field Artillery Battalion, and was discharged with several honors. Upon returning from the service he and Glenna moved to Pleasant Grove. He was employed at Geneva Steel as an Electrician and retired after 32 years. Bud served in several callings in the LDS church including nine years as the High Priest Group leader. He was a friend and neighbor to all and understood the true nature of service. Bud had a great love for his wife, family, and friends. Everyone that came in contact with him found instant respect and love. His great passion was the outdoors and he spent many days hunting, fishing, and camping with his family in the mountains above his beloved Midway valley. Bud was an expert in gardening, including grafting several varieties of fruit trees onto one tree. He also enjoyed raising several breeds of exotic sheep. He taught his children to stand together, have a strong work ethic and to love and support each other. He took great pride in the friendships among his children, their spouses and grandchildren. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought him many happy days and a mighty legacy. He was a dedicated husband and father, who provided for his family and encouraged our dreams. He was our treasured leader, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend. We will miss you Daddy. He is survived by his wife Glenna, three daughters, and one son.

I remember being so scared and nervous to come into your home when I was younger. Then one day "He" smiled at me and all those fears went away. I am honored to have known him. I know my time with my own Dad is short...How blessed we are to have such amazing parents! Your tribute to your dad touched my heart. Take care, love, Mare |

I took care of bud at the beehive homes. WE would sit for hours and talk about old times. He was a good friend of my grandfather Guy Hardman. He always had a smile on his face.. and never complained he was a good person. |
