Ron Motz says
Buddy was such a nice guy. When I first hired on at TEK Mechanical as an Estimator/Parts guy, Buddy taught me SO much about parts. I will always be indebted to Buddy for that. Buddy could do virtually anything and when TEK needed something wierd made, Buddy was the go-to guy to fabricate it. Buddy was one of the rare people who leave an indellible mark on all that he knew, I’m sure because he sure left one on me.
Bob Baune says
Thank you for the kind words Ron and as you mentioned he could figure out just about anything. He was a special guy that will be missed dearly.
Take Care Ron!
DeeDee Reiner says
Buddy was such a great man. A great friend. An amazing husband, to Darlene and father to Debbie and Bob and grandfather to many. From being neighbors with the Baune’s since 7th grade or going on vacations together when we had a family. There was always a million laughs. So many memories. We are so sorry for your loss. Prayers for peace and comfort to all of you in the days, weeks and months ahead. Keep the memories alive by sharing the stories and talking about Bud.
Sympathies and Love,
Craig and DeeDee Reiner
