I remember Uncle Bud very well. He never married. My father, Ed, helped Bud get several jobs including as a busboy at the Lord Baltimore Hotel in downtown Baltimore, and as a night watchman at a facility near the Bay Bridge. But Bud generally had a difficult time keeping a job. At one point he was arrested in Baltimore City for vagrancy (homelessness).
In 1994-1995, Bud lived at 1338 S Hanover St, Baltimore, Maryland, 21230.
At the end of his life, Bud resided in a state-sponsored facility in Brooklyn Park, Maryland, where he passed away at age 57 on 17 Jul 1993.
