Bud’s passion for motorcycles was ever apparent as he always had a Harley. He even made a chopper in the late 60s, entering it in shows and winning several competitions. Bud also always had a convertible and was often seen riding one of the local beauties in parades in the back of his 66 Mustang convertible. He loved of Polka dancing and had stories about crashing weddings as a young man just to dance with all the single gals attending. Bud loved to fish the local lakes and was always ready to throw a line in the water.

Surviving is his daughter Sherry Slavoff, two step-sons Peter and Mark Maniscalco, sisters Dianna and Freida, four grandchildren, five great grandchildren, and a host of nieces and nephews, other relatives, and friends.
