Prayers to Bud and his loved ones.

I'm so blessed to have known Bud. As a staff member with Working in the Schools (WITS), watching his unyielding commitment on the Board, and more importantly, as a volunteer reading with Chicago children every week, Bud was a true light and inspiration for so many lives.

God bless,

Channing
