Robert Budd, 87, died January 30, 2016 at his home in Richland, WA.

He leaves his dearly beloved wife of 62 years, Pauline Budd; his daughter, Robin Budd, of Seattle, WA; his son, Paul Budd, of Camano Island, WA; and his son, Peter Budd, currently residing in Okinawa, Japan.

Robert attended college at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, where he studied chemistry. He went on to a successful career in the nuclear industry, serving most recently as Plant Safety Manager for the Westinghouse reactor program.

Robert was a lifelong avid outdoorsman, and especially enjoyed the family’s cabin in Twin Lakes, Idaho. He was also a lover of dogs and always had a canine companion. But his greatest love was for his family, to which he was devoted.

Robert was a devout Christian and member of the Richland Baptist Church. A Memorial service will be held Sunday, February 7, 2016 at 2:00 pm at the Richland Baptist Church, 1632 George Washington Way in Richland, WA.
