Buddy was a cherished father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, a caring brother, and dear friend to so many.
He loved his family more than anything else and loved spending time with them as much as possible.
He organized the family reunion each year and cooked most of the delicious food that was shared.
He was an amazing cook, chef, and baker. He owned and ran Buddy’s Bar-B-Que in Alabaster for almost 50 years. Buddy loved spending time chatting with his customers, getting to know them and their families and helping anyone he could. Buddy is going to be greatly missed.

Every time we traveled from California to Alabaster to visit family, my first stop was Buddy’s. Nowhere in California could I find a bbq sauce like Buddy’s. Buddy would laugh when at the end of our visit with our family, we stopped in to fill up liter bottles of his sauce to take back to California. Thank you Buddy for always being so kind whenever we visited and for making a visit with you special. I wear my Buddy’s BBQ shirt proudly and think of your smile every time.
So sorry for your loss. You all are in my prayers.
So sorry for your loss. Buddy was a good man and a joy to talk to when my dad and I would have us a bbq from the restaurant.
He will be greatly missed by all in Alabaster.
So sorry about Buddy’s passing. My prayers go out to his family & friends.
