L ove, Val & Eleanor Alan K Homer alan.k.homer@intel.com We are saddened at the passing of your father Bud. Bud always kept his yard nice and trim, with a great garden with lots of flowers. But more importantly he had the patience to mentor and teach children. My family lived close by and they were great neighbors. Although it has been more than 30 years since I last saw Connie and Bud, it should be known that he and his family left a lasting impression upon me.
