He attended the University of Iowa where he participated in football as a freshman and in R.O.T.C. He was a member of Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity. He served his country in the United States Army as the 1st Lieutenant Infantry during the Korean conflict.

Bud was employed by Hedges Realtors before starting his own company, Heritage Realtors with three other partners. For the past 20 plus years Bud has been self-employed as a Real Estate Appraiser.
Bud had many interests outside his profession. He was an active member of Maranatha Bible Church where he served several terms as Deacon, and attended Moody Bible Institute’s pastor’s conference several years running. He and his wife enjoyed traveling in the U.S. and Canada. Bud was a consummate outdoors-man and conservationist and was a founding member of Eastern Iowa Ducks Unlimited serving as their first president and was the driving force in starting the Green Wing program for young hunters. Bud served the Cedar Valley Humane Society as President, and was a 32nd degree Mason in Mount Hermon Lodge #263. Bud loved to fish in Canada, making annual trips with his wife and other couples, or with groups of men.

Bud hunted ducks and geese from Saskatchewan to Arkansas along the Mississippi flyway. Bud won the Iowa Duck Calling Contest in 1968 and participated in the World Duck Calling Contest in Stuttgart, Arkansas the following year. Perhaps his favorite bird to hunt was the wild turkey. He was very successful, bagging his limit nearly every year. While in Florida this winter he was privileged to hunt turkeys with an old time Florida turkey hunter and though they didn’t take one they called up many, enjoying the strutting and bellowing of the Tom. His wife, Helen, wrote two books using Bud’s hunting prowess as the basis for the stories “Duck Hunting with Grandpa” and “Turkey Hunting with Grandpa.” For the past 12 years they have participated in a field trip at Lake Odessa with the 3rd grade students at Wapello Elementary School, all of whom have read “Duck Hunting with Grandpa.” Golf, now there is another pastime that Bud enjoyed. He was a great golf partner to his wife, sons and others. Bud was a friend of Bill W. as well as many other people, a genuine gentleman. He will be missed by his family and friends.
Bud married Sandra Studer in the 1950’s. They later divorced. Bud is survived by his best friend and wife of 31 years, Helen; and sons Kevin (Suzanne), John, a daughter Jennifer and stepchildren Stephen White (Jane) and Sara White Miller, and his sister, Diane Tait.
