He was a farmer, a professional singer, Vice-President of
the Federal Land Bank, a Choir Director, and a great gardener, who started the first community
garden in Louisville. And, in his spare time, Dad proudly cared
for his 200 rose bushes in the back yard, displaying cuttings at various events.
He was funny, kind, good-looking, and a sympathetic
listener; he loved people in general, and never met a stranger.
Plus, he grilled a mighty tasty rare steak. But, most of all, he was Bud French, my loving Dad, and a wonderful grandfather
also!
