Condolence: Bud was one whose reputation preceded him. Everyone who spoke of Bud had a way of talking about him that engendered praise and honor without using those words. I cherish the one day I met him...he on his knees staining the back porch at age 89. A self-made man, not loud in his many accomplishments. I felt such warmth and respect talking with him about his war years. Truly one of Tom Brokaw's Greatest Generation.

Condolence: Dear Shirley and Charlene,
We were very sorry to hear of Bud's passing and want to express our love and thoughts during this time. I have printed out the obituary for grandpa and he read it to me many times today, with lots of smiles and stories to go along. We are very sorry that we cannot make the service in person - at almost 95 and with the crazy winter weather these days, it's so hard for grandpa to travel. We will most certainly be there in spirit and our thoughts and hearts are with you as you send Bud off to the great golf course and wood shop in Heaven.

Sending Lots of Love, Shannan

Condolence: Bud's big brother, William Hauser, wishes to express his sadness in his little brother Bud's passing. He has spent all day today reliving memories and smiling fondly on their adventures. He was happy to know that his little brother died peacefully. He thought the photo of Bud was great and enjoyed seeing it. He sends his love, thoughts and prayers.

Love, big brother Bill
