He leaves his best friend, Jean Thompson; his son, Drake B. Doyle; his grandson, Alec M. Doyle; nephew, George Danas; "niece", Darcy Rice; along with countless other family and friends who were blessed to know him.
Bud touched the lives of many people with his smile and generosity, and maintained his trademark ability to recount the events in his life all the way to the end.
