For twenty-two years he was a general contractor at the Dayton Tire Plant in Oklahoma City. He provided the same services at FAA for AKG Services, LLC, First Southern Baptist Church, Southern Hills Baptist Church and Covenant Community Church in Yukon, OK until he became ill three weeks ago.

Bud ("B. W." to many) was loved and admired for his strong faith, his gentle spirit, his friendliness, and his passion to always serve others. He participated as a trainer for Evangelism Explosion for a number of years. He strived to obey the two great commandments: Love God, and love others. He had a servant's heart that knew no boundaries. To know him was to love and admire him. He will be greatly missed.
