Beryl 'Budd' Bugatch, whose life was marked by dedication and love, passed away on August 16, 2024 in St. Petersburg, Florida. Born on April 27, 1945, in Baltimore, Maryland, Budd was a cherished husband, father, and grandfather, creating memories for his family that will be forever treasured.

Budd had a successful career as a Securities Analyst, formerly at Raymond James and Associates and more recently at Water Tower Research. His passion for his work was evident throughout his career, reflecting his commitment to excellence and professionalism.

Budd was not only known for his work ethic but also for his vibrant personality. He loved his family with unmatched fervor, often putting their needs and happiness above his own. He is survived by his beloved wife of 55 years, Nanette "Nan" Bugatch, his loving daughter Samantha Bugatch and her husband Charles Ziesing, along with his cherished grandsons Adam and Jason, who were the lights of his life. The bonds they shared were strong and unwavering, instilling in them a sense of love and resilience that will endure even in his absence.

Outside of work and family, Budd enjoyed exercising, which contributed to his active lifestyle and well-being. His ability to find joy and balance in both his professional and personal life was commendable, and it is this passion for living life to the fullest that will serve as a guiding light for those he leaves behind.
