I remember Buddy and Sally when I was a young girl and we would visit when we went to Hampton Beach and remember hearing about how beautiful their wedding was . Aunt Mary always was so proud of him and my dad always told everyone of Buddy being such a great ball player. He had a great smile as shown in the photo. I’m so glad he had such a loving family to share his life with.Sending you all my heart felt sympathy.
I just found this obit while looking in the internet for our family tree on 2/5/18 so I apologize for my condolences being so late.
