Kenneth died Saturday, Feb. 9, 2019, in Fremont. Stonacek Funeral Chapel in Norfolk was in charge of the arrangements. Bud was born Nov. 20, 1923, on the family farm in Norfolk, the sixth child to John “Roy” and Margaret (Voss) Timperley. He joined the Marines in 1945 and was stationed in San Diego, California. Bud and Lucile Wiedeman exchanged vows on Nov. 27, 1946, at the Methodist Church in Concordia, Kansas. After his discharge from the Marines, they made their home in Norfolk, Nebraska. Bud worked for the Chicago Northwestern Railroad for several years. Shortly after, Bud moved his family to Omaha, where he worked with Greyhound Bus Lines for 30 years. He retired from Greyhound in 1983.

Bud and Lucile traveled extensively throughout the Southern United States, eventually living part time in their homes in Fremont and Texas. Bud was a 32nd degree Mason and a member for 50-plus years of both the Masons and the Eastern Star. He was also a member of the American Legion, York Rite bodies, Knights Templar and Shriner’s International. In Bud’s younger years he enjoyed attending parades and the Shrine Circus as a member of the motorcycle patrol. During those years he traveled extensively with the patrol throughout the Midwest and Canada supporting Shriner’s Hospital.

Bud was immensely proud of children and grandchildren. They were not only the light of his life but his biggest supporters. His children and grandchildren loved to hear his stories, amazing true-life stories. Bud was a major story teller, the family keeper of memories, dates, and happenings. He had an amazing 95 year journey; he took his family and friends with him through his memories and stories.
