Buddy & Millie were blessed with 2 more children, Tammy Sue & Kimberly Joe. Buddy worked as a truck driver, cattleman, and grocery & feed store owner. Most of all, Buddy loved to garden. He always tried to be first to have tomatoes. He was always in competition with his cousin, Leon Stuart, as to who would have the first & largest tomatoes. You could drive by his home in Millerton & see him in his garden working from his wheel chair. Buddy was an avid Bingo player. He would take vegetables to people at the Bingo Hall, and they would bake him cakes in return. Buddy loved to visit with everyone. He could talk your leg off, and he never met a stranger.
