The photo’ of Bud and his brother Simon brought tears to my eyes, Simon was my adored Grandfather. Uncle Bud was the loveliest guy you could ever meet as was his wife Anne (Curly). When my husband and myself were engaged we went back stage at the Victoria Palace Theatre to see him, and he was always so genuinely pleased that we visited.
1969 Saw the last three of all the siblings still alive, their sister Minnie passed away I seem to recall in February, Grandpa on 29th July – which was his own son’s birthday, and uncle Bud 20th October. Such an unhappy time for all the family, and we miss them all greatly.
