Walton F. (Bud) North joined the US Air Force in August 15, 1967. He served in Vietnam in 1968 and in January 1971 received orders to McCoy Air Force Base. He received an Honorary Discharge on August 13th, 1971.
Bud later became the owner & founder of his own putter company Suredrop putters. He was a professional caddie for 36 plus years, having Caddied for Arnold Palmer at The Augusta National Golf Club on many occasions.
He took pride in doing for others and would give you the shirt off his back even if it meant he would do without.
He loved his family, his Country, and his Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.
Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths, volunteering on Wreaths Day, or inviting your family and friends to attend with you.
Thank you so much for supporting the In Memory of Walton F. (Bud) North II and Wreaths Across America!
