PARKESBURGâFew people get the honor of having a day named after them. Earlier this year, Thaddeus Bud Wilde attended a ceremony at the Parkesburg Lions Club proclaiming March 2, 2020 as Bud Wilde Day.
Wilde died last week at the age of 89. He was a fourth generation of Wilde funeral directors, which dates back to 1850. Parkesburg did lose a one of a kind in Bud, said Brian Sheller, long-time Parkesburg police chief. I had the honor of serving on several of our communityâs civic organizations with Bud and have too many examples of his dedicated service to mention in this response. Bud seemed to know everyone, or knew their family, and how the family connected to Parkesburg. Bud had the ability to bring a calming presence to any situation and knew how to say the right thing at the right time.
