Condolences & Memories (6 entries)

  • Worked with Buddy a B&B for a few years. Got along well with him swapping driving stories. Always great radio company on those long winter's nights hauling snow. We shared an interest in music. I'll miss him. - Posted by: Michael Greene (Co-worker, fellow driver.) on: Jul 08, 2018

  • My Condolences to the family. Myself, I worked with Bud "The Spud" at B&B Cartage for a few years and got to know him well. Buddy always came to work with a smile on his face and always first to lend a helping hand when I needed. Bud loved to talk cars with me, and he spoke proudly that he was the first Rail Car Racer in Manitoba. Buddy also loved his Peterbilt trucks too. He will be missed.

  • To the Popp family; I'm so sorry for your loss. I haven't seen Buddy for a long time, but I've never forgotten him. He was a very interesting person who was a lot of fun, and was about the coolest guy in town. The world would be a much more boring place without people like Buddy. - Posted by: Bridget (friend) on: Jun 10, 2018
