Dear Chuck & John:

Chuck and John,
We are very sorry for your loss. Bud was a great guy and we couldn't have asked for a better neighbor. We'll miss him. William loved chatting with him in the yard. We're all lucky for having known him.

Dear Chuck and John,
You know you both, along with Mom and Dad were like a second family to us and words cannot describe how sorry we are for your loss. Whether you were in Bud's family, or you knew him from the firehouse, neighborhood, church, village or you were simply his friend, you knew a real man.
Most importantly, you knew a man that loved his family and was concerned about people. Besides touching the lives of everyone he met,

Charlie and John,
Our sincere sympathy to you and your family. "Bud" was such a wonderful person. He loved his family, his church, his community, and his country. He will be sorely missed.
As the years went by, we didn't see each other often, but he was always in our thoughts. We lost a dear friend. Our hearts are heavy.

Love,
Nick and Dorothy Streit
