Bud was a member of Grace Lutheran Church in Lake Benton. Through the years he was a member of the Arco Elevator Board, the Buffalo Ridge Two Cylinder Club, and the Henry Sollie American Legion Post #10. Bud was a South Dakota State Golden Gloves boxing champion as well as an avid bowler for over 50 years. Another one of his passions was restoring and pulling antique John Deere tractors; he won over 300 trophies in over 30 years of competition. One of his unique talents was water witching, and he also played many years of fast pitch softball with the Lake Benton Green Team. Bud was known for his sense of humor. His favorite saying in high school was, “I want to be bashful, but the girls won’t let me.” He was also known to say, “If you can’t run with the big dogs, stay on the porch.”
Bud is lovingly remembered by his four children, Paul (Sandy) Fehrman of Lake Benton, Lisa (Loren) Hansen of Redwood Falls, MN, Jay Fehrman of Arden Hills, MN, Jon (Jessie Jo) Fehrman of Sioux Falls, SD; special friend, Mavis Bruening of Marshall, MN; 12 grandchildren, Sara, Amanda, Dan, Christina, Jenna, Tanner, Callie, Louise, Kendra, Ethan, Twillight, and Neil; four great-grandchildren, Gage and Abbie Hanson, Cohen and Alec Erickson; and one sister, Mary Ann Koopman of Ivanhoe, MN. He was preceded in death by his wife, Ardis; his parents, Louis and Meda; one son, Vernon; and one daughter-in-law, Lori Fehrman.
