Buddy was the quintessential Ag-boy. It is hard to believe that I will no longer have the opportunity to shake his hand.
Hasta luego, amigo!

Martha Lynn: So sorry to learn of Buddy, my deepest sympathy to you and your family, Buddy will be missed. Robert Allgood
Buddy was a great, friendly guy that always appeared to be happy and smiling. He went out of his way to be kind to everyone and make them feel comfortable. He was a great leader and organizer and put in a lot of time to help make us the best “Lobo” alumni class. He will be greatly missed by all of us who knew him, as well as many others in the Longview community. Very few individuals are dedicated to serve and love others like Buddy has done. His spirit is irreplaceable, and we are all better people for sharing his friendship.
