I have been receiving many touching sentiments from you all regarding your feelings about my father, Ed Budman.  My brother, Brandon, and I have decided to compose a memoir of my father’s life, based on the personal accounts and stories of those that he considered friends.  We are still focused on the funeral arrangements for this upcoming Friday, but at your convenience, please try to come up with any memorable stories or interactions that you can recall which exemplifies the kind of person he was to you and forward them to my email at: derekbudman@hotmail.com and CC my brother at brandon.budman@gmail.com

I appreciate your help with this effort to create a family keepsake which will keep my dad’s memory alive and to show to our children when they get older.

Sincerely,

Derek Budman
