Age: 76
DUNLAP, Orville “Bud”
Lawton
Formerly of Portage
Passed away July 24, 2006 at Lakeview Continuing Care Center in Lawton, MI. Bud was born June 30, 1930 in New Madrid, MO the son of William and Elizabeth “Bessie” (Cross) Dunlap. Bud as teenager grew-up in East Lansing and later moved to Kalamazoo in his early 20’s where he met the love of his life Margaret “Peggy” (Pfister) of Lawton. The two were married October 20th 1955 in Kalamazoo, MI. They moved to Portage around 1965 where they raised their two children Nancy Dunlap and David Dunlap. He loved his family, friends and community and was always there to lend a helping hand. He loved sports of all kinds and was a big fan of U of M. He also loved his coaching and refereeing football and baseball. Camping was another favorite pastime and a yearly trip to Muskallonge Lake State Park was a long time annual event he enjoyed. Taking care of his lawn was another favorite thing to do. Bud retired from the City of Kalamazoo, MI after 36 years of working both for the Water and Public Services departments. Moved to Lawton around 1992 just prior to his retirement and quickly became a “local”. In the last couple years his new family at Lakeview Continuing Care gave him so much comfort. Thanks so much, Buddy loved you all. He was preceded in death by his wife, Margaret, and his daughter Nancy. Surviving is son David of Portage and several nephews, nieces and cousins. Cremation will take place and his internment will be at Oak Grove Cemetery in Lawton. A time to share memories will be held at St Paul’s United Methodist Church, 117 S.

I have known Bud a long time being with Scott and Chris. We were also neighbors when we lived in Lawton. We always had to pick on Bud at the restaurant. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
