Condolences

Condolence From: Walter Coppersmith
Condolence: Aunt Phyllis, Patsy, Chuck and Kay Francis,

Barbara, Tyler and I send our deepest sympathies on your loss this week of "Bud". Bud was a friendly, good-hearted, compassionate man. I will always remember the time spent as a boy in the garden, the personal greetings at every family reunion, the optimism even in difficult circumstances, and the sharing of life's adventures at the Coppersmith brother's breakfast get togethers.

Though we never got to talk personally about his WWII service, I recall a couple of years ago at the hospital where he was visiting my father Art, the time he spent talking to a woman who had lost her dad, also a WWII vet. Bud made an instant connection and the two talked about the sacrifices made and the life they came home to build and appreciate with their families.

May you find comfort in knowing that Bud is no longer suffering, he is now able to see and is fully alive in the presence of his Heavenly Father. Our hearts go out to you today and we too will miss Uncle Bud.

Condolence: I am so sorry to hear of Bud's passing. My cousin Phyllis and Bud lived near us in Owings Mills (Tollgate community) until their move to Boring, Md. Kay and Pat were not only second cousins, but neighborhood friends growing up, and I have many fond memories of the Coppersmith family. Helped them move to Boring, went to a few family reunions, etc. Bud will be missed. God Bless the Coppersmith family.

Condolence: Alice(Coppersmith) and I send our heartfelt sympathy to Aunt Phyllis and all the Coppersmith family. We remember Uncle Bud fondly, and always looked forward to seeing him when we had the chance. My father in law, Bud's brother Arthur, was very close to Bud and looked forward to seeing him and his other brothers at their frequent get togethers.

As a member of the Greatest Generation and a veteran of WWII, his courageous service helped make possible the life of freedom all Americans enjoy today. Thank you, Uncle Bud; we can never thank you enough.You will be deeply missed by all of us.

With Love,

Robert Petillo
