He is survived by two daughters, Karen Allard and her husband, Roger of Cundy’s Harbor and Gail Dill and her husband, Gerry of Ellsworth; a brother, Perry Thompson of Virginia; he greatly enjoyed his six grandchildren, Roger, Jolene, Amy, Cathy, Amanda and Melissa, who knew him as “ Pompie” and had recently been introduced to the youngest of his 12 great grandchildren. The family wishes to thank the staff at the Hill House who lovingly cared for Bud and became his extended family.

A graveside service and time of remembrance will be held at a later date at the Orchard Hill Cemetery, West Bath. To share your thoughts and condolences with Bud’s family please visit www.desmondfuneralhomes.com
