Bud grew up in Haverhill, MA and was one of four children in his family. He graduated from Central Catholic High School in Lawrence, MA in the Class of 1960. Bud also earned his drafting certification through Mass Trade in Boston, MA. Starting with his training at the MIT Instrumentation Lab, his drafting career spanned many years, including five years at Raytheon and 15 years at Digital Equipment Corporation. He then changed careers and became the owner of the Kingston Hardware Store for just under 10 years. Additionally, he served as WIDIP facilitator and coordinator at the Amethyst Foundation in Epping, NH.
Bud married the love of his life, Joyce Simard, on October 5, 1963. They raised four daughters together and resided for a short time in Haverhill, MA and Old Lyme, CT before moving to Exeter, NH in 1966. Bud and Joyce have lived in Fremont, NH for the past 18 years.
Bud and Joyce are communicants of St. Michael Church in Exeter, NH. Bud's hobbies included motorcycle riding, taking his boat out fishing, and playing golf at several local courses. He was an avid car enthusiast who loved driving his Corvette, watching NASCAR, and operating radio-controlled cars. His racing talents won him several trophies at local competitions. He was mechanically-minded, which enabled him to complete beautiful household renovations.

He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Joyce Dempski; his sister and her husband, Alice and Wayne Hawksworth; his eldest daughter and her husband, Christine and John Swenson; his daughter, Suzanne Dempski; his daughter and her husband, Stephanie and David Marrama; his daughter, Andrea Levenson; his four grandchildren, Aaron, Nathan, Tori, and Kaitlyn; his great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
