He began his working career with Westinghouse Electric and later went to work for Schiring Xray, located at the time in Colchester. Bud went on to buy the company and operate it for many years, retiring in 1989. Bud was an “old timer“ friend of Bill W., and had many valued friends over 48 years in the program. He was an inspiration to all those who knew him. Bud was a member of Trinity Episcopal Church in Shelburne, and was very much a spiritual soul. He enjoyed boating, fishing, reading and doing crossword puzzles, but most of all he was a generous and devoted husband, father and friend. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

He is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Carolyn Lewis, and his five children and spouses, Craig of New York, N.Y., Jon and Marianne of Shelburne, Eric and Diane of Waterbury, Matthew and Kimberly of Chester Springs, Penn., and Robin Lawyer and her husband Todd of St. Albans. Bud is also survived by his 11 loving grandchildren. He is survived by one sister, Ruth Vanderbrook and husband Richard of Tonawanda, N.Y., and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
