Throughout his life he worked cows, ranched and ran heavy equipment, as well as owning three businesses in Lee County, which took him to find his true passion, his love of cooking and catering for others. This led him and his family to create Buddy's Kuntry Katering. He was best known for his amazing ribs, chicken and damn good steaks.
