Our families share such a rich history that I can't just pick one memory. My family (the Don and Janet Burrous family) and the Rose family were very close friends going back over 75 years, I believe, way before I came along, as I am the youngest of the 5 Burrous girls. Every time I saw Bud over the years, he would say to me something like "So how's it going, Julie Burrous?" We knew each other well enough to be on a first name basis, yet there was something about using my last name that just flowed out of Buddy Rose's mouth. I want to add that I may not even be here if it weren't for the Rose family. My parents really took a liking to the twins. They were told by Bud and Elaine that if they liked these babies so much, maybe they should have another one of their own. And then, I came along. Blessings and prayers go out to the family. Until we meet again, Buddy Rose.
