in honor of Clyde.

Bud Dad was the most admirable man I have ever known. He shared his gifts of intelligence, motivation, concern, optimism, problem solving, family prioritization, generosity, and love with everyone he knew. He was such a unique blessing in the world. He and Fran raised an incredible family- more gifts to the world.

in honor of Clyde.

Mr. Stapleton was a pillar in the community of Belleville Michigan where he and his wife Fran raised their lovely daughters. The classiest couple in town and we lovingly called this man who was Principal of many elementary schools “Bud Dad” with all of his credentials he was always approachable and was by far the best looking and most youthful of all the Dads. We will never know how many lives he inspired. He was a great listener had an optimistic outlook and took interest in others. He was very much respected by the students and the community. He made a difference here on earth. He was a self made man who worked hard yet also knew how to have a good time, God bless you Bud Dad! I hope you are enjoying golf in heaven. You will forever be “Gentle on my Mind” love Suzy Stabnau Vilicich and family.
