CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF ANDREW STEPHEN "BUD" PAZUR, JR.
For more than 50 years Sheboygan County resident Bud Pazur found comfort and purpose in his feline friends.
First introduced to cats in his 20s, Bud grew to love them…and they, him. Bud began adopting rescue kitties in the 1970s when he lived in Hawthorne, New Jersey.
He continued adoptions in the 1980s and 1990s when he lived in Cleveland with his wife Denise and son Stephen.
Then, upon moving to Plymouth, Wisconsin in 1997, Bud and his family found joy in the cats he adopted from HSSC.
Perhaps his most beloved cat of more than 40 felines he had adopted over his lifetime is EDWARD, an HSSC special-needs kitty who was blind.
Bud treasured Edward, retaining the name he was given at the shelter. Taking him for outdoor walks on his five-acre property in the Kettle Moraine, always keeping an eye on Edward so he wouldn’t wander off. Sleeping with him, brushing him, caring for him with all his heart.
When Edward passed on in 2019, Bud wrote a song for his beloved kitty. Listen to “Edward’s Song” here.
Bud died on December 19, 2023 after a brief illness, but not before ensuring that a generous donation would be given to HSSC from his estate.
Please support Bud’s HSSC Memorial Fund for Cats…in memory of his Edward, and all the other kitties who need a forever home to keep them safe, warm, and loved.
