Losing Bud this suddenly has really been hard. We spent a great Saturday afternoon in the sun watching a lacrosse game just a week before he passed. I’ve known Bud most of my life, and our paths have always managed to cross, so that we never lost touch and could pick up where we left off, even if had been a couple years. Shared a hometown, HS lax, post b-school in SF, a little overlap in VA, and most recently in CO. I can’t think about Bud without thinking of his self-deprecating sense of humor... when he and the rest of us all knew it didn’t really work, because he was such a driven, talented, successful and passionate man, who gave so much of himself to and for others. I am gutted to think of his kiddos, right now. To all of his family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. To Sheila, it was wonderful to speak with you and share some very recently interactions with Bud... I truly did not see this coming... Bud was always Bud, he was hilarious, seemingly happy, and didn’t volunteer any pain and discomfort he was in. I’ll miss him very much. Rest in peace Buddy!
