My condolances to Bud's Family on his sudden and early death. I knew Bud as a fine attorney,a expert on regulatory issues,a gentleman and a friend. While we were "adversaries" in the court room,I considered him to be a capable,trustworthy and likeable person. He will be greatly missed by the Office of Ratepayer Advocate and all of his collegues in the regulatory community. Best wishes,Frank Delany.
