I just saw a posting on a Facebook page stating that Bud Ross has passed away. If true, my sincere condolences to his friends and family !

It has been confirmed. Bud passed last night. True entrepreneur of an american success story. The purple light will never glow as bright as it did before Bud passed.

Truly sad news. I only had the opportunity to talk with him once at the meeting in Chanute. He was as nice as could be. I wish that I had been better prepared to ask him more questions, but kind of like meeting an idol your mind kinda goes blank.

I hope that somebody writes the book that should be written about his life and Kustom. My thoughts go out to his family and the rest of the Kustom community.

You will be greatly missed, Bud. I was proud to call you friend. Thanks for the memories, and the tuck and roll.

Here is the link to the Bud Ross article, apparently I can't post web addresses, so you can copy and paste this at least. It's a nice article.
