A lifelong resident of Elmore County, Buddy worked at Mount Vernon Mills for 40 years, retiring in 1999. He enjoyed sitting on his front porch, where a good game of dominos might ensue, while waving at all the people that passed and honked. Many a world problems were solved on that front porch and that corner of the world will never be the same without him.
