Buddy worked as a heavy equipment operator until his retirement in 1985.
He enjoyed riding and training his horses and won many saddles, spurs, buckles and trophies that he was very proud of.
He always enjoyed working on his ranch, raising cattle, making hay, etc.
His most enjoyed time was going dancing with his best partner, Shirley.
