Bud was born October 11th, 1932, to Arthur and Adele (Molkenbur) Lindabaur. A proud Eastsider, he graduated from Johnson High School in 1950 before joining the U.S. Marine Corps. He met his wife Dee on a blind date and they married in May 1955.

After his service Bud began a long career with Northern States Power Company managing work crews, fitting pipes, and saving the city of St. Paul from a gas explosion during his time with NSP. Bud had a song for every situation, and he loved to dance and watch any TV show with monkeys in it. He enjoyed a long retirement with family where he perfected the art of frying up Grandpa Fries and always paid close attention to the weather.

With heavy hearts we say so long to a good man who touched the hearts of many during his 92 years on Earth. 'Til we meet again- all our love.

The family will say goodbye with a private graveside ceremony on Wednesday, October 30th.
