Bud was born in Steveston and lived his early days in Skeena until his father's passing and the consequences of WWII lead his family to Kamloops. Bud graduated from Kam High where he played "Red Devil" basketball. He attended UBC and U of AB. After graduation from dental school, he practiced in Peace River and then Kamloops for 5 and 46 years, respectively. Bud was devoted to dentistry, his patients, and learning. He also enjoyed fishing, golf, curling, reading, and local history.

Many thanks are extended to those who cared for and about both Bud & Sets throughout their lives.

Per Bud's request, no public service will be held. Those interested in giving on his behalf are asked to consider Kamloops Hospice Association (72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, BC, V2E 2S9).
