Mr. Bud was a fine man and whoever wrote his obituary nailed it. Thru the years the Lineberger family has been our friends and it is always a joy to see them. May you look to God to guide you as you say goodbye for now and look forward to joining him in Paradise. Love you all, Rexine

Regretfully I won’t be at Buds visitation or funeral due to my own health issues.Bud had become like my own uncle. Bud always had a story to tell, or a joke. He never disappointed in bringing laughter or fascination. I was always fascinated how he could remember so much with such detail.
Bud was never mean spirited and never spoke badly of anyone.
For that I grew to love Bud as my own uncle. Bud will forever be in my heart. He will be missed by all who ever knew him.
My he forever rest in peace with the Lord he loved.
