Bryan & Blake,I loved your dad. Uncle Buddy always had a smile on his face. One of my favorite memories of Uncle Buddy was visiting my grandma(his sister Naomi Page) on Saturday with his brothers Merril and Tom. They would laugh and tell stories. I will miss Uncle Buddy. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers ❤️.
