Obituary
Milton "Bud" Edward Longworth, 83, passed away Sunday, December 3, 2017 at the Wilson Hospice House in Albany, Georgia after a valiant fight against Leukemia. His loving and devoted wife, Sylvia was with him when he passed.
Bud was born on August 18, 1934 in Washington, D.C., the son of Milton and Ruth (Mamber) Longworth. He served in the United States Navy and was a Veteran of the Korean War.

After Joan's death in 2011, Bud married Sylvia McDade in 2013.

He retired from Walt Disney World in 2002 and devoted his time caring for his wife, Joan and occasionally arranging and playing in golf tournaments. Bud was also a baseball fanatic and loved to be anywhere near or involved in a game, whether as a coach, umpire or fan. In his final years, Bud enjoyed spending time with his wife Sylvia at their cabin in the mountains of Blairsville, Georgia.
