Upon high school graduation, Buddy entered the Navy where he attended a
nine month electronics school and later served aboard a destroyer during
the Korean war. After his service, he attended the University of Illinois and
received a degree in Electrical Engineering. Buddy eventually moved to
Dallas Texas and that is where he met his wife Lu and they were married in

1965. While working in Texas and raising his children, Buddy also received
his Masters in Business Administration. Lu preceded Buddy in death in

Patsy Lee, and an uncle Roy E Gore.
There will be no funeral or graveside service. A private ceremony will take
place for family and friends at a later date.
Buddy lived his life to the fullest and never met a stranger. He thoroughly
enjoyed his retirement and last years with his friends and neighbors in
Boyd’s Addition. As many know, he loved gospel music and in particular
the song titled “Old Friends”. And as the song goes “Old friends are like a
rare piece of gold and old friends are treasures to hold”.
