"Such sad news, but I wanted to share this with you, while making my rounds at Hornel one weekend I stopped and talked with Bud and the others in the engine room like I normally would do ,they had jars of green and red peppers, and Bud asked me if I wanted to try some, I said yes but not the red ones , I had a green one and once I took a big bite they laughed so hard at my reaction . Every time I would see Bud in one the stores in town we would visit and I would tell him ? Bud you never seem to get any older? I will never forget my friend ?"
