R.I.P. Bud Little
WE ARE VERY sad to report the passing in December of Raymond Michael “Bud” Little, founder of the New Zealand Hardware Journal and friend and colleague to many in our industry.
Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Bud’s family – wife Angela, children Simon, Andrea and Emma and grandchildren Jack, Ed, Charli and Josh.
Without Bud, NZ Hardware Journal wouldn’t have seen the light of day, let alone reached its fourth decade.
Without Bud, the Hardware Awards wouldn’t have seen their quarter-century as they did last year.
Throughout his long battle with prostate cancer, Bud remained closely interested in the business and what we were doing and, during his frequent visits to the office, was always supportive of our efforts.
We’ll miss him.
