Doug Robinson: Bonneville bids Budge a fond farewell

So true. I knew Thom Budge very well and he was a fine man and a true gentleman. The world in general and the sports world in particular need more Thom Budges.

I'm going to miss the man.

Young people need coaches and mentors like these men. My kids have been fortunate to have great coaches and leaders in their endeavors and what a difference they have made. Thanks to all who work so hard to help our youth grow into fine young adults- we parents so appreciate you!

Great article. Coach Budge was a great coach and an even better man.

Truly a great man, and an inspiration to anyone who met him. He will be missed by many, but forgotten by none.

Members of the Thomas Budge family gather last Friday for a moment of silence before a football game against Ogden. Budge, a former long-time Lakers coach, passed away earlier that week.
