for those of you who know us well enough to know who bud is, know just how much he meant to us and our families. he changed our lives, and will be forever missed. he shared his love for life, his love for travel, and his love for cars, with everyone who was lucky enough to know him. one of his favorite places on this earth was my favorite place-hawaii. everything is amazing in hawaii anyway, but when you were there with bud, every single thing was the best it could be. with bud, the sun shone brighter, the water looked blue'er, and even the food tasted better. you could see his love for life in his eyes, and feel it in the touch of his hand. this world has felt a great loss since his passing. he will always be in our thoughts and prayers. -we miss you budsky!

bec and i get to re-new our memories of bud, and of hawaii in a few weeks. we will be spending a week on our favorite island-maui. if i still love bec when we get back, i will post some pics and regail you with tales of our adventures.

oh, and i love my wife.....
