Forever Fund posted a condolence

Wednesday, September 27, 2023

Dear Dorothy, We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of your brother, Harold "Bud" McDade. Please accept our heartfelt condolences on behalf of the Forever Fund and its entire community. Harold's remarkable life journey, from proudly serving his country in WWII to his dedicated contributions to the community, is truly inspiring. His commitment to various community organizations, his generosity in crafting birdhouses to support the Lakeland Resource Center, and his enduring spirit in enjoying activities like cribbage and golf well into his 90s are a testament to his remarkable character. During this difficult time, we want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you, as well as with Harold's beloved wife, Alma, his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and extended family. The loss of a loved one leaves an irreplaceable void, and we hope that you find comfort and strength in the cherished memories you hold of him. Thinking of you through this difficult time and sending our sincere condolences. Your friends at the Forever Fund “United Way Central NB Endowment Fund”

My memories of Bud were that he was a quiet, strong, family man. He always had a gentle smile on his face when I saw him. He was open to talking about anything, was very intelligent and a very kind, compassionate man. I'm glad that God let him stay on earth for as long as he did. Earth needs more angels like him.

I extend my sympathy to Bud's family. I remember him as being most tolerant and kind toward this railfan when Bud was conductor on VIA Rail's dayliner into Fredericton in the early 1980's. Peter Gough

To Alma and the entire family; Please accept our most sincere condolences on the passing of your dear Bud. I have nothing but fond memories of Bud, Alma and the family. All part of many saturday evenings spent at the McDade home in the 1970's, most when Bud and Alma and Mom and Dad were off dancing the night away at the Legion. You folks knew how to have fun and made a lot of good memories for one another. Bud and Alma were dear friends to my parents Betty and Earle. Bud was always the patient, kind and knowledgable gentleman of reason. He will be missed. God Bless

I loved working with Bud at the church. One day he asked me to help him change a light bulb in the church foyer. I was 70 and he was 90. We brought a ladder in from the shed and set it up. I started to climb it, and he said, "No just hold it", which I did and he went up the ladder and changed the bulb. He was a great man of God, and will be missed. My deepest condolences to the family. Miles Blair

So sorry to hear this news about Bud. He was truly a great guy. I remember him visiting me after his son passed and just wanted to talk about the loss of his son. I feel broken hearted today as he felt about his son when he visited me that day. My prayers and condolences are with the family today. He and his wife will be missed at the Legion suppers. Absent from the body present with the Lord! Annie Anderson
