My Great Uncle Bud, my paternal grandmother's brother, passed away today. While I hadn't seen him in years and his health had been steadily declining with age, I still miss him. I have some great memories of visiting him in California when I was a young girl. He took me to see the broadway musical Cats, and we went to 2 Dodgers games among other things. My favorite memories though were when he took us out to breakfast on the coast followed by a drive through the strawberry fields where he bought an entire flat of strawberries to bring home. We ate all of them during my visit, and they were delicious!!! He was a wonderful brother to my grandmother and a wonderful uncle to me.
