After their twenty year marriage, Bud moved to Ninette and purchased the Ninette Motor Hotel, which he operated for seven years. After selling the hotel, he retired to Kemnay. Over the years, he had several rural properties close to Brandon, where he enjoyed raising cattle. Bud loved a good laugh, and he imparted his unique sense of humour to his children. He enjoyed country music, playing guitar, and the companionship of his pet dogs. Bud's family and friends were always in his thoughts. He was predeceased by his parents, brothers William, Gordon, and sister Dorothy Armstrong.
