He was preceded in death by two children, Elizabeth Ann, and William Douglas, first wife Ann Vasek Binford, who died in 1986 and second wife Velna Hoke Binford, who died in 2002, two beloved brothers, and many other relatives and dear friends.

Bud led a long and fruitful life during which time he faithfully served the Lord as a life-time member of Dacus Baptist Church, his country in the Coast Guard during World War II, and his community in countless ways. He was very proud to be a Mason. Bud lived and loved his life to the fullest. He truly enjoyed people; happily sharing treasured memories with his many loved one and friends, and rarely missing a social event. He was an entertaining, spirited individual and touched so many lives with his wit and wisdom. Bud credited God alone for the blessings he received. When asked how he was doing, regardless of the situation, his response was most often, “I can’t complain!” followed by a joyous recitation of the good things God gave him. He will be remembered for his ready smile, his anecdotes, and his zest for life. He was a gentleman of the first order, and will be sorely missed.
