Hi, this is Mandie Creed. Uncle Buddy (Lou) always made our family get-togethers fun and inviting for everyone. He gained his angel wings on December 29, 2024, and we will all miss his spark for life. Whether advising us on woodworking, listening to gossip, or teasing, he always had a smile and a wink. Uncle Buddy and Aunt Kathy were married almost 28 years, and though he is not here with us, Kathy knows his spirit is with us all.

During the 2008 market crash, Lou/Buddy cashed in his retirement and properties so that Kathy and he could weather the storm. Now, Kathy is faced with unexpected medical bills and the task of downsizing all on top of her regular life expenses, and on a reduced Social Security income. She has given her full heart and spirit to so many of us, anything you can do for Kathy at this time would be greatly appreciated!
