Bud and his brother John decided to take a trip north to Alaska. He fell in love with the north-country and eventually moved to Fort Fraser, BC. It was there he met Anna, the love of his life. They were married for 58 years and together they had five children, eleven grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren.
