No more suffering for Bud.
I'll miss his stories.
(c) Ellen Gillette, 2013
Edgar "Bud" Gillette, my father-in-law, passed away during the night on March 13, 2013 after surviving World War II, an electrical accident, many challenges and struggles. He was a wonderful story teller whose family lost everything in the Great Depression and started from scratch on an island off the west coast of Florida, where Bud was responsible, as a boy, for hunting game to eat. He learned to sail there, and always loved the water. Almost as much as he loved his family. We'll miss him. But those who were there when he passed into eternity say his whole countenance changed, his eyes brightened, and he smiled.
