Obituary
Robert Duane “Bud” Study passed away on Nov. 19 at age 100 in Gaylord, Michigan. He was a former resident of rural Redkey.
Bud was born in Union City, Ohio, to his parents John and Ruth (DeBolt) Study, the oldest child of 13.

He is survived by his sister Joyce; brother Jon; and June’s children Steve and Linda; along with many loving nieces and nephews.
Bud was a veteran of U.S. Army in World War II and rejoined the army in the 1950s to serve at Fort Eielson in Fairbanks, Alaska. Upon his military retirement, he worked for the U.S. Postal Service in Muncie, Indiana, until full retirement.
He was an advocate of Adele Simpson’s holistic medicine and Rachel Carson’s environmental practices, and was a huge fan of sudoku puzzles.
Bud was a lifelong mechanic and a farmer at heart. He will be remembered for helping others and was a generous contributor to The Portland Foundation. He was a preacher of common sense.
