As a kid, I spent a lot of time hanging out in Bud’s garage, learning about mechanics and how things worked. Many memories of the Franzen family as neighbors. My condolences.

To the Franzen family,
Bud worked with my dad (Ubaldo Padilla) at the tie plant in the mechanic shop. As coworkers and a team they kept all that old tie plant machinery in working order. They were good friends as well during and after work hours. He was always kind to me when I visited my dad at work. May he Rest In Peace and my condolences to all o you.
