For Father's Day 2017, just months after losing his wife, Bud's daughter and granddaughters surprised him with a siamese kitten. They had begun searching for one when they saw a listing for a failed barn kitten and knew she was perfect. Familiar with the breed, Bud knew what he was in for and appropriately named her Spicy (she was even his second siamese of the name). Every day Bud showed his feline the same love, devotedness, and patience he showed all those he cared for. When they first brought her home, Stacey and the girls promised they would take care of Spicy if anything happened to him and sadly the time has come for that to happen.

Funds from this Memorial will be used for the care of Spicy - from food and litter and annual vet visits to toys and treats to keep her as spoiled as Bud would expect - We thank you so much for your support and generosity.
