Sam and Jim,
On behalf of my family and I, please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of your father. I had the pleasure of meeting Bud on one of his yearly trips to the Cardinals' game when I was a young lawyer with the Circuit Attorney's office. God Bless Bud and his family.
Bud will always be remembered as one of the great fans for all of CHS's sports teams. For a number of years I don't recall going to many games, home or away, that he and Bessie did not attend. In addition, he pitched in to make Carlinville a better place for all by his active participation in his Church and local community organizations, especially the Lions Club. A Friend to everyone, he was a perfect model for all the youngsters who were fortunate to get to know him through the years. He will be missed, but his memory will live on for years to come.
My sympathy and condolences go to Sam, Jim and all the Bertolet family.
I was fortunate to know Bud when I was a kid in school. Including when it came time for the Cardinal baseball games. I would see him when I was home on leave from the military. I will miss seeing him. But he will never be forgotten.
