Condolence: Jean Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time

Condolence: To the Lyford Family. Please accept my condolences in this time of separation from Bud. I have learned much about his life from the obituary, the recent news stories concerning the 70th wedding anniversary and from talking to Peter. He was a remarkable, talented, heroic, loving and humble man whose faith was an inspiration. I remember attending a morning Bible Study of which Bud was a part almost 30 years ago. I enjoyed his participation and insights and his encouragement of me in my relationship with God. I am thankful for a short conversation with him on the phone in late February after I was told that his health was not well. I regret not being able to visit him after that but the timing and his health did not permit that. Also, I regret that I missed the news of his passing and the services in his honor. How appropriate that his passing is close to Easter since his faith in Jesus Christ has resulted in Bud's now being in the presence of his Savior and Lord and he will someday experience the same resurrection that Jesus did on that first Easter morning. Grace and Peace to each of you.

Condolence: Jean, Susan, Peter and family, Our sincere sympathy to all of you at this difficult time. We were heartened to read of all the honors and accomplishments Bud had throughout his lifetime. It sounds like he led a very full life, including 70 years of marriage! The last time we saw him was in Florida with my Dad and Rich and Jerry a little over 10 years ago. Somewhere we have a picture of that family reunion that I will try to find. Love to all.

Condolence: Peter and family My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at the loss of your Dad . Donna

Condolence: Our thoughts and prayers are with Jean, Susan, Peter, and families. Bud Lyford, Holbrooks Pond Camp neighbor, red and white aluminum boat,always had an eye out for us kids. Never too busy for kind words for you on the street or in his hardware store, sense of humor, known and well-liked and respected throughout Brewer and surrounding towns.

Condolence: Dear Jean. It is with great sadness that I read of Bud's passing. He was a great guy and fellow classmate. You and your family are in my prayers Betty Buckingham BHS Class of 41

Condolence: We are saddened by the recent passing of "Bud." He was an "iconic" figure in the community, known for his general concern for others and his enthusiastic traits. He had words of encouragement for all those he encountered and was a generous and thoughtful man. Seen often with wife Jean, they as a couple, are to be commended for their love for each other and the commitment to a long, happy successful life. We wish strength, courage and unyielding faith along with payers to wife, Jean, and to all extended family members. He will surely be missed.

Condolence: Praying that the Holy Spirit's presence and the people of God will comfort you in these days. Peace, Tracy
