Bronze plaque on front of mausoleum:
IN MEMORY OF
BUDDY
WHO HAS LIVED WELL,
LAUGHED OFTEN AND LOVED MUCH;
WHO HAS GAINED THE RESPECT
OF INTELLIGENT MEN
AND THE LOVE OF CHILDREN;
WHO HAS FILLED HIS NICHE
AND ACCOMPLISHED HIS TASK;
WHO LEAVES THE WORLD BETTER THAN HE FOUND IT;
WHO NEVER LACKED APPRECIATION
OF EARTH'S BEAUTY;
OR FAILED TO EXPRESS IT;
WHO LOOKED FOR THE BEST IN OTHERS
AND GAVE THE BEST HE HAD.
