Buddy worked for Brown Shoe Company for several years before establishing his own painting business. He and his son, Mark, worked side by side for many years, painting homes and businesses throughout the area. Buddy loved his work and especially enjoyed the opportunity it gave him to visit with people. He never met a stranger and genuinely enjoyed spending time with others.

Buddy was a faithful member of Ironton First Baptist Church for more than sixty-five years. In his younger years, he was an avid coon hunter. Later in life, he loved spending weekends with Joyce and their family at the cabin on Black River, where many wonderful memories were made. Buddy also enjoyed tinkering in his workshop and took great pride in his beloved 1948 Ford pickup, which remained one of his favorite possessions.

Buddy will be remembered for his sense of humor, strong work ethic, and the friendships he built wherever he went. His love for his family and the simple joys of life will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
