I've been away with life stuff and I come back to find this. Truly sad to hear. I really liked Buddy a great deal. Great attitude all the time. I will truly miss him greatly.
As mentioned earlier, by Steve I think, we should do an honorary GB for Weekend madness. I normally don't have time for this one but in his honor I would rearrange things to make it work.

This is sad to hear. This past thanksgiving weekend was my first Weekend Madness Group Build, and I had a great Time! As someone who's dad is currently in the process of "being shown the exit" by the cancer in his body, at an age not much more than our friend Lewbud, I feel especially struck by this news.
I sincerely hope that his family and friends, and Lloyd those whose lives he touched can find solace in the knowledge that he is undoubtedly in a better place.

Mortal as I am,I know that I am born for a day. But when I follow at my pleasure the serried multitude of the stars in their circular course, my feet no longer touch the Earth...
I haven't checked in to this site for a few days so I am very sad to hear about the passing of Lewbud.
I was a very active member on this site some time ago and I participated in some of the first Weekend madness group builds and even ran it for a couple of years back around 2008 to 2011. After a long break from this forum I wandered back into the Group build section a couple of years ago and saw that "Buddy" had carried on the tradition of the weekend group build so I just had to jump back in. He was was one of the few people I remembered from the original weekend group builds. He will be sorely missed.
I am sorry to hear about this. I did not know the man, but he clearly a good bloke who made a positive contribution. My condolences to his family and friends.

Greg Sincere condolences to friends and family. Based on comments here and on his obituary page, sounds like a man who touched many lives in a very kind and positive way.

Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!

RIP Lewbud. You will be mised.
So sorry to hear about his passing. His CAS group build was my first. Made this newbie feel very welcome. RIP brother.
Vale Lewbud, thanks for welcoming me into the fold.
You always had a kind, encouraging or funny word to help us through the madness.
My sincerest condolences go to Lewbud's family and friends. It is very sad when we lose a member of the forum, especially the"good guys" like Lewbud. RIP buddy.

That is sad news, RIP Buddy.

SR, he sure did love a good P-51 kit! I've never built one myself but I now have one sitting on my workbench that I'll complete and put up on the shelf as a little memory.

On deck: Who knows!
Buddy was a great guy and a friend to all who knew him. The next IPMS-North Central Texas group build will be "P-51 Mustangs of the World" in Buddy's honor.
Buddy's passing at a relatively young age, however, should be a warning to all of us to better take care of our ourselves. Buddy was morbidly obese, a condition which doubtless caused other health issues and contributed to his early death. The last time I saw Buddy was over a year before his death, and it was obvious to me then he was not at all in good health.
Modelling is by its nature a solitary, sedentary activity, which makes it even more important that modelers take care of themselves and better manage their health, especially as we get older. Eat healthy and get regular exercise!
Oh gee friggin' whiz- thanks for letting us know Chad.
Rest in Peace Lewbud.
I can't say I knew him all that well but he always came off as a very nice smart guy. The forum will be the less for missing him.

Sad to hear, he was far too young.
Rest In Peace Lewbud
Sorry to hear-Lewbud ran good GB's with interesting topics. I especially looked forward to the Weekend Madness each year-always a good time-just picked up a kit this weekend for this years GB before seeing the posting here.
He will be missed.

So sorry to hear this news. May he rest in peace. My condolences to all his friends and family.

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
We should keep madness going in his name. Gonna miss him.
Sad hear this.
I always enjoyed the "weekend madness" group builds, ( even when I failed)
Lewbud , you will be missed.
Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"
53 much to young. My condolences to family and friends.
modelcrazy The sadist part of growing older is the loosing of more friends and family.

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
GMorrison Terrible news. His Weekend Madness GBs were a lot of fun, a brilliant idea.

Yes, actually I was thinking of carring on the tradition for at least one year and calling it "Lewbud's memorial Weekend Madness" but I don't know. They were a lot of fun and I entered every year for the past 7 years.

It was amazing how he got his large frame into one of those things. He had a giant British flag painted on the roof and this giant of a man driving. The first time I saw it, it gave me a laugh. He loved those cars.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.
