I have known Buddy since he was about for over 30 years. As a kid he lived down the street from me here in Glendale, Arizona. Went to school and a friend of my kids. I am stunned. I saw Buddy I think 2 years ago when he was in town. We spoke on facebook at times. Buddy was a good deed do-er. He was always ready to help out anyone. Such a sad thing to have his life cut short doing a good deed. Buddy will be greatly missed.
Please show this to Kim and the kids, I am saying a prayer for Buddy. Kim try to be strong for the kids. I pray also pray for you the kids, Scott and his family and Buddy's mom.
