Stan,
I immediately sent this on to Mike after reading it because I knew he would appreciate it as much as I did. Also….I just got off the phone with mama. She was very touched when I read it to her. Thanks again SO much.

Jenny, I’m so glad to hear from you, and I’m glad for the timing of the post. There were some mighty fine dads there in Oakley when we were growing up. I’d love to send this to Mike, but I don’t have his contact info. If you have his email let me know. Or maybe he’s on Facebook.

Stan,
I can’t tell you how much I appreciated reading this. Thank you so much for this beautiful portrayal of my daddy. Underneath that “gruff” exterior, he had a heart of gold. I am blessed to have one of the two fiddles that he made by hand displayed on our mantel. My brother Mike has the other one. As we near the 26th anniversary of his death in a few days, I am reminded by your writing, just what a great dad he was.

Cindy – I didn’t know he was called “Uncle Bud.” He had plenty of names! I, too, look forward to hearing him play music in heaven.

Stan, I loved this blog! Uncle Bud was one of a kind. And I can tell you as his niece, his canteen probably did contain more than water. I pray he was prepared when he met Jesus, because I would love to hear him play that fiddle in Heaven!

Hey Dave, next time we’re together we should trade some Mr. Cauble stories – or maybe even go and visit Hugette. I hear she’s still living in the Oakley house, at 90 years old.

As you know Stan, I knew Mr Cauble well as he was the father of my best friend growing up. This brought back so many memories because you could not be around Mr Cauble very long before he would make a lasting impression. As I look back, I now realize the quality of a man like that. I think conformity is one of those misplaced goals that can easily beset us.
