What an amazing man! He coached my brother and I (Rodney and Joel Neely) in little league football. I remember one day it was freezing and I didn’t want to get out of the car and he had to coach me out of the car. He always made each player feel important to the team. He took the time to teach us not only plays, but what is important in life. He made a difference. He will be missed.
Oh the wonderful memories I have spending time with the Stanley family. I am sorry to hear of the loss of Bud. My thoughts and prayers are with you all!

Stanley Family, your dad was such a sweet man. I’m so blessed I was able to know him. I will remember him running miles, doing pushups and sit-ups in the front yards. He was full of energy and kindness to all around. I still have the poem he wrote me. My deepest condolences to you all. Heaven definitely gained an Angel.
