Buddy's friend John from Florida has taken the liberty of elevating Buddy's status to Lance Armstrong levels. Incredibly nice gesture. His email follows.
"The attached pictures are of the bracelet that I had made for the closest friends of Buddy. It is Black and on one side it says" Everybody needs a Buddy" and the other side says "BuddyLove". He used this name a lot especially when we were in a restaurant and the hostess was smokin hot, he loved it when she would say, Mr. Love your table is ready.
I ordered 25 Bracelets and like I say I would really like to give them to Buddy's best Friends. Whoever wants one to send me their home address. it you think there is a better way, I am open to suggestions.
Please note, that this is my gift to Buddy and his Friends and no cost will be incurred to anyone but me. If I have to make a second run on the bracelets, I will do it.
Thanks a lot!!!"

"For the past few years, Buddy spent Thanksgiving with my family here in Boca Raton. Let me tell you, my family is no bunch of angels but it was always funny to hear the comments that Buddy would make about my sister or other relatives. Somehow, he could always relate to the situation. It will be wierd not having him sit next to me at the table telling me to pass this and pass that. We all know he loved to eat. I guess we all have to be thankful for having known Buddy and having the honor of calling him our Buddy. Happy Holidays to all! Don't be shy about asking for a "Buddy" Bracelet."

Hello Everyone: I came up with the Buddy Bracelet idea because Buddy gave me one of the "Livestrong" original bracelets. My mom, my wife and I proudly wear the "Buddy Bracelet" everytime I look at it I think of him and all the fun we had. Many of his friends have asked for a Buddy Bracelet including Doc Bruce, Marc, Eric Frank and Elysse for her and her boys. I will have a few left. Just e-mail me your address and the Buddy Bracelet will be on its way. I miss him more each day but somehow the bracelet on my wrist makes me not forget, I hope never. Please, as the Budster would say "my gift to you" Happy Holidays to all!
Regards,
John
Happy Birthday Buddy....
Words still cannot express the emptiness felt when you come to mind but then a smile always follows - we think of you often
