He attended School in Chocowinity then at Washington High School. He loved living on the Pamlico River. From the age of 9 he had his own little rowboat that he would paddle around between the old Park Boat Co. and the boat ramps. Bigger boats followed as he grew up and started a family. He loved fishing and family time on the water. After the boats came his Harley Davidsons and getting his pilot's license. Regardless of his working, playing, taking care of his yard, and sitting in his swing to admire his work, his greatest devotion was to his family. Bud was with the Army National Guard and served as a medic during the Korean War. He was manager at Mallison Implement Company for 27 years and then Mitchell Tractor Company for an additional 27 years. During these 54 years of selling farm equipment he was a well thought of man with family, friends and the farming community. Bud's Uncle Lloyd R. Latham & Aunt Neva Pearl Latham spent a lot of time with him as he grew up. They played a big part in raising him. Uncle Lloyd's love for boats and Harleys passed on to Bud.

    The family will receive friends following the graveside service at the cemetery.
