I spent many days & evening at your home in Portsmouth as a youth and Mr. Buddemeyer was always very happy & inviting to me. He cared so much for his children & family. I will always remember the jokes that he would tell us when we would come over in his very quiet tone.He will always fondly be remembered. God Bless you all at this time."
