During that time, he also worked at Pierquet’s Tv and Appliance Store, where he met his first love and future wife, Barbara A. Kolar. His dream of owning a home came true in 1984, purchasing an old farmhouse to renovate. On September 17, 1988, Bud and Barb were married in the beautiful yard of his sister and brother in law, Janet and Glenn Francken. He loved his sailing time on De-ja vu, Glenn and Janet’s sailboat. During a sailing adventure with Barb and his best friend Dan Kaye and his family, Bud parallel parked a thirty-five-foot sailboat. Truly amazing!
