Bud,
We will miss you and your smiles and laughter!!
You had a great personality and always had alot to say, just like your Mom, Violet!
Of course, all the Starkka's (your Mom's side and mine) have the gift of gab as we always say!
You now have a new audience of family and friends up above to talk and laugh with.
Tell them all Hi from us.
Until we meet again.
Love,
Cuz Marlene, Dan & Family and Aunt Helen

You were my guardian angel 25 years ago when I needed a second job at Butchers and you hired me. You were a great boss and friend even after I put out your taillight on your new snowmobile. "Those Women Drivers" and then you gave me that big grin. 10 years later I married your second cousin and from then on I was your Cuz. We should have seen more of you but time ran out. Rest in Peace Cuz and you will always be in our thoughts and prayers.

Carrie, John, Mike, Sorry for Your Loss. Wanted you guys to know Your Dad was my Boss and a friend, I new him for years before He hired me at Bernatellos. I remember the day Because it was my Birthday, His first order was, Happy Birthday Get To Omaha, so i did . He felt bad I was so far away from home , that He would Put extra Money in my paycheck. So i had the best living / Housing that the area had to offer . when he would come to check my work progress he would stay with me, the first time he saw my place, he walked in the door and said Nicky who do think you are Rockafeller.? i said no my boss takes care of me. I will miss him much

Haven't seen Bud in over 20 years, but remember what a Great guy he was. I was Senior Buyer for Holiday Companies, we developed such a great friendship that was so much more than a working relationship. Looking back, sure wish we would have gotten together recently, as everytime I bought or saw Bernatello's Pizza, I thought about him. May he rest in peace.

Bud,, every time I saw the Cadillac a smile came to me to cheer up which I then knew you were around. You always were concerned about my situation of my stroke and, how life was going. I will never forget when you and I jumped in my 4x4 Polaris and, ventured around and, about and, went out to Waterfront, about 2 months ago. I had a nice talk with you and, lunch. I was reminded by you (Bud) we were shirt-tail cousins (again). You are my friend. I will miss you. I think you and, I finally gotten Kelly figured out. He is our good friend! R.I.P.

I was so sorry to hear of Bud's passing, he truly was one of a kind. No matter where I would see him he would always make a point to say hi. I will never forget the coolest wedding present we got was a case of pizza, any kind we wanted. I had waited awhile to pick it them up and when I did his comment to me was "I wondered when you were going to come get them!" :) RIP Bud. My thoughts and prayers go out to family.
