A very sad day as another of our Greatest Generation passes. Al "Bud" McDermott was a true "character" and a legend among us guys growing up in the Rosedale/Latonia area. No one could tell a story better than him; one of the funniest humans I have ever met. Our condolences to Ralph, Butch, and Dave and their families. We have a lost a great friend.

Bud, his wife, Marge, and sons, David and Mark, were mainstays at 1st Presbyterian Church of Covington (later named Community of Faith Presbyterian) for many years. He had a unique personality and sense of humor. Condolences to the family. Bud will be missed by all who knew him, including my family (Becky, Robert, Richard, and me).
