In his younger days, he played in the Snowdon Fastball League and as a player for St. Augustine’s, they won the 1953 Championship in the Snowdon Fastball League. Some Montreal history for the Gazette. Bud worked for the Canadian National Railroad (CNR), and then Goodyear Tire until he opened his own printing business “Printing Craftsman.” Bud then went on to work in his own proprietorship under “Korb Production Services.” Upon retirement, Bud joined the Rawdon Golf Club and was a mainstay at the Golf Club showing up daily and playing anywhere from two holes to twenty-seven holes. He and Mom enjoyed their time there. Dad also enjoyed attending and participating at the Rawdon Legion and was close to his many friends from the Legion. On February 2, 2024, Dad celebrated his 54th year of sobriety and was a beloved and great contributor to Alcoholics Anonymous wherein he sponsored and assisted many others to achieve sobriety. Bud lit up every room that he entered. He was always full of joy, jokes and welcoming to all. His catch phrase was always “God Love You.” Dad will be greatly missed by his family. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the amazing caregivers of Rousseau Rawdon for their daily visits and assistance with all of Dad’s needs. You became part of our family and were a great support to Mom. Thank you also to the caregivers on the second floor of the Heather Nursing Home.
