Bud was a cattle farmer and one of the last true cowboys. He was an active member of the Thayer and Mammoth Spring Saddle Club for many years and was currently serving on the Board of Directors for the Missouri State Wagon Train.
Most of all, Bud enjoyed driving his team of mules and his wagon on the Gee and Haw Horse and Wagon Ride and also, the Missouri State Wagon Train and Trail Ride with his friends.
