Dear Andrea and family. I’m so truly sorry to hear of Bud’s passing. I met you at the first family reunion with my daughter. Bud and I spent quite a bit of time together as children. My grandfather and his mom Lil were brother and sister. They used to take me to his place in sackville a lot. I saw him only on occasion as teens and adults as I grew up in Sackville as well.
He truly was one of a kind and the last time I saw him was at uncle Ed’s service. He will be missed by all. Take care, my thoughts are with you and your family. ❤️

We are deeply saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Bud. His last visit to B.C. was for Cathie's surprise 60th birthday. When Bruce invited him to surprise Cathie he said " He wouldn't miss it for the world!!!" What a great surprise it was.....dressed in a gorilla suit!! He made a lasting impression on everyone!!
Words cannot express our deepest sympathy to his wonderful family, he will be truly missed .....RIP Bud....Cheers!!

Hi Andrea, So sorry to hear. I can only say that I will miss our truck talk. When I first started to work with Frank when he was looking for a vehicle so many years ago, I was pleasantly surprised to see that he wasn't here fore himself but trying to help on of his employees buy a vehicle. That's what I remember, his willingness to help others and his loyalty.
My thoughts are with you and your family.

I was so shocked and saddened to hear the news of Bud's passing. I played Gents hockey with Bud for year's and really enjoyed those times as well as any time I ran into him around the community. It was always great catching up with him and sharing a laugh. One thing that was clear over all the years I knew him was how proud he was of his family. He always talked of his girls and Jimmy.
My condolences to you all in this difficult time

Dear, dear Andrea, Cheryl, Caitlyn, Erin, Jimmie, and your family and extended family.
You children of Andrea and Buddy may not know of me, but I have met you in another time. You were very young then. Cheryl and Andrea have been a part of my life and heart for many years. I watched your Mom grow up from a very small child of 4 years old. Although I don’t remember many days in those early years, I do remember a few years later so many times on Kaye Street; hand, rooster, chicken chop; red-light/green light; Red frigging Rover!! Spin the bottle!! Haha. And later in life a few drinks by some fires. I wonder where a lot of those kids are now?
The especially special ones, the ones who are as close to me as any family member could be, well, it’s you I am speaking to. I find myself many miles removed and helpless and wish I were there to hold and hug and assure and smile and share with you. And I find a real need to share this to believe I was part of a passing of a friend so beloved to us all.
I believe in the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. I also believe there is a connection between them and our own personal Head, Heart and Soul. When the Soul wants to go home, there is no stopping it. The Head and Heart are content, and the Soul’s desires have been fulfilled. It is my philosophy that once we are each able to reach that person’s soul’s satisfaction, there is no stopping the inevitable. My hope is you all know you contributed to fulfilling your husband, father, brother-in-law’s life and you will meet again. Buddy, you shit! You were supposed to grow old with Andrea. I thought this love affair was all wrapped up. Not one of us, Andrea, Cheryl, Nancy, Mrs. Gorman, my Mom and Dad, not one of us have had the outcome we were dreaming of. Maybe it’s all about living in the moment, like Bud did.
God bless you all. I know it is going to be a long heartbroken road; time does heal, not completely, never completely…
With deepest sympathy, love and prayers,
Taun

Hi Andrea and family,
I am sadden to hear of Bud's passing. I remember our conversations about hockey and how we both had a strong opinion about what was wrong with the Canadiens. When I heard the news, I first thought it was a joke and never really believed it. I still think about it everyday and have a hard time understanding. We always discussed about enjoy life to the fullest.I send my heartfelt condolences to you and family. We had some great times together which I will remember for ever. God bless everyone as you lean on each during this time of sorrow.

Dear family-
I work closely with Lisa and I’m absolutely devastated for your loss. Lisa spoke often of Bud and you all. You all mean the world to her and, therefore, to me. Hearing of the joy you recently experienced and the so suddenly followed by such tragedy-I only wish there was something I could do or say that would make a dent in your sadness and loss. Although I didn’t know him, I can safely say that Bud was an amazing man, father, friend, neighbor and coach. I would have loved to have met him and experienced first hand a story about April Wine, golf or really anything.
I can’t say enough or truly convey my sadness and sorrow for you all. We may never meet, but I will always hold a place for you all with me.
Love from me and my boys always

Dear Andrea and family,
My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. I probably met Frank about 15 years ago at a site visit or industry function, and although I did not know him well, I know for sure that he was a special person. He was more full of life than almost anyone I know. I would only run into him once or twice a year but every time I did, I could always count on having a few good laughs. His sense of humor and good nature was infectious. I cannot imagine what you must all be going through. I'm sure Frank will be missed more than words could ever describe. My heart goes out to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Heather Holohan

Andrea, Erin, Kaitlyn, Jimmy & Bryce;
So, so sorry to hear about your husband and Dad. You captured the essence of Buddy in the heartfelt obituary you created. ❤
I was a neighbour to the Davies family when the children were quite young; school-aged, growing into teenagers. I have only pleasant memories of Buddy...he ALWAYS wore a smile on his face and had a story to share with delight and excitement...usually about the children. I remember him as being fun-loving & carefree, he loved a good time, a chat & being surrounded by friends...& he could be spotted near the pool in summer with music booming; heard calling out to the children four backyards away (louder than the music)!!! Or Sunday driving with Andrea in his little green Mazda Miata, as I recall?
I remember his love of cars, April Wine...debating that Myles Goodwin was the best rock & roller of our time. He was a hard worker, building his own business. I have consolation hearing that he was traveling with his beautiful wife and friends, likely enjoying all the things in life that he loved. Buddy was a super guy, a great friend & neighbour. He will be missed. Thinking of you all at this sad time...sending great, big hugs and all my love. Xoxoxo

Tina Butler

So saddened to hear of Buddy’s passing. Though we never stayed close over the years, I always thought of Bud as a great childhood friend. Every few years, I would be out somewhere in public and hear that unique laugh, followed by the loudest voice in the world. Every time we would run into each other, it would remind of the good times from years ago. Sadly the last time we ran across each other was at Weir field when I jokingly told him that we couldn’t hear the bands, over him. Many good memories running through my mind right now, boxing in the basement, hockey on the tiny ice patch in the back yard, stepping in a wasp nest, watching ball games at Les Mayo field, Mr Davies driving us into Halifax to watch a Vees game and finding out that Buddy left the tickets at home………All my thoughts and prayers are with the Davies family right now.

I still remember the first day of Grade Primary when I met my new friend "Buddy". I remember that smile and those mischievous eyes and the way he would kick the back of my desk non-stop! I remember some of the torture that he put those poor teacher's through too but always with such charm that nobody could be mad at Buddy for too long.
I am grateful for Facebook messenger as Buddy and I shared a daily joke or story during these past several years. I will cherish these messages always. We picked at each other a little bit just like we did way back when we were on the playground. We got each other from the roots up and we hold these friendships closely as they are the most precious in our lives. I will never have another "Buddy" quite like him and will be missing him every day.
Sending loving thoughts and prayers to all of Buddy's family as you navigate through this very difficult time. May you gather peace in knowing how deeply you were loved.
