In Memory Of
James "Bud" Lobdell
James "Bud" Lobdell
d. Feb 1, 2018
Vilas James (Bud) Lobdell passed from this physical world on February 1, 2018. Born August 22, 1930, he lived a long and full life filled with good...and sometimes not so good times; lived through some tragedies and experienced countless joys.
He was born in New Underwood, SD and spent nearly all his life in the Black Hills. As a young man, he served in the Korean War, and then the National Guard for many years. He was a lineman for Rapid City Bell Telephone Company until he retired in 1985.
Bud loved his children and adored his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, of which he had many. A bit rowdy now and again as a young man, he spent life appreciating cool cars and motorcycles, enjoying bowling leagues, golf games and always a good party. He was quite the swing dancer according to his ex-wife and life-long friend Peggy Lobdell.
Bud spent the past two years in Colorado with some of his family. He is survived by his two sons, Kim and John Lobdell; two daughters, Deidre Enright and Kathy Sampson, and many grandchildren who loved him to the moon. What more can one ask for a complete life? We love you Dad/Grandpa and you will never pass from our hearts.
Friends and family will celebrate his life when the wildflowers return to the Black Hills.
