He loved the water, whether boating down the San Jacinto River, river cruises in Europe or cruising the oceans with Suzanne and with family and friends as evidenced by their numerous cruises. Time spent with Buddy and Suzanne was time spent enjoying life or talking about their latest cruise over a margarita or a glass of wine. Interment will be at the Houston National Cemetery.
