A RESOLUTION
on the death of bud strom.
(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)
Bud Strom passed away on July 28, 2012 in Tucson, Arizona at the age of eighty.
A man of many talents and interests, Bud Strom served his country as an anti-aircraft artillery officer in the Army and was selected to be a military intelligence officer. He went on to command the United States Army Intelligence Center at Fort Huachuca, Arizona and at the time of his retirement had risen to the rank of brigadier general and was serving as the deputy chief of staff at the Army Forces Command in Georgia. Bud Strom's tremendous efforts and military acumen helped prepare modern military intelligence efforts, and he was inducted into the Military Intelligence Hall of Fame on Fort Huachuca on June 26, 2009.
While Bud's outstanding military career spanned three decades, it exemplified just one phase of his extraordinary life. He traded his uniform for a Stetson, chaps and boots. He became well known in his Cochise County home as a rancher and cowboy poet. He spent his days on horseback, rounding up cattle on the Palominas area ranch he named the Single-Star Ranch. He also enjoyed writing, reading and recording cowboy poetry and joined the Cochise Cowboy Poet and Music Gathering and worked with schoolchildren to involve them in the program. He greatly enjoyed cooking and woodworking as well. Bud Strom gave willingly of his time, energy and talents to numerous worthwhile organizations, including the Sierra Vista Boys and Girls Club and the Sierra Vista Symphony. He was a big supporter of a horse rescue organization called "Horse'n Around Rescue". He and his wife, Joan, allowed rescued horses to be kept on the ranch, especially those that were high maintenance and in need of medication and special care.
Bud Strom was a husband, father, grandfather, soldier, cowboy, chef, woodworker, friend and true patriot. He lived life to its fullest and was a person who enjoyed helping others. He will be greatly missed by his wife of fifty-seven years, Joan, his daughters, Marta, Susan and Amy, his six grandchildren and his many friends, especially in Cochise County.
Therefore
Be it resolved by the Senate of the State of Arizona:
That the Members of the Senate express regret at the passing of Bud Strom and extend their deepest sympathies to his surviving family members and friends.
UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED BY THE SENATE MAY 21, 2013.
FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE MAY 21, 2013.
