Clarence "Bud" Gulliford

Passed on: January 23rd, 2014

Clarence Roy “Bud” Gulliford passed away on Thursday, January 23, 2014, at the age of 84 years. He leaves to cherish his memory two children, Cecelia Nesmo of Medicine Hat and Doug “Ashley” Braaten of Brooks; two grandchildren, Kandis Eirich and Klinton Nesmo both of Medicine Hat; three great grandchildren, Mikayla, Kaitlyn and Jadyn. He was predeceased by his parents, Anna and George Gulliford; one grandson Joey Nesmo; a son-in-law, Art Nesmo; one brother, Ken and three sisters, Margaret, Elaine and Bernice. Bud was born on March 8, 1929, at Eston, Saskatchewan and was raised on the family farm at Brock. At the age of 15, he left the farm to work hauling logs in Northern Alberta and B.C. He met and married Vicki and they moved to Lancer, Saskatchewan where Bud worked as a farmhand. They then moved to Aden, Alberta and he was employed as a gas operator for Canadian Montana Gas. He purchased the Imperial Oil Bulk Station in Manyberries and at that time he started his career in the oil industry as a consultant. They moved back to Lancer and purchased the Hotel before Bud made his way to Lloydminster and began consulting full time. Medicine Hat then became his home where he continued working as a consultant, retiring 10 years ago. To honour Bud’s request, a private family time of remembrance will be held.
