To the Carty family, Buddy and Carlene were the BEST neighbors anyone could have asked for. Buddy was there for me whenever I needed him after Roy passed away and I never forgot that. I loved visiting with him when I would come back to Ohio and he always stayed in touch with a phone call. I will miss him and I pray that Carlene knows how much both of them are loved.

Bro. Phillip, Sis. Kathy Mosley and Family - Oct 31, 2020
Such a man of God! A bold soldier that held close to God’s word, guided God’s children and held the churches and association in love, peace and order! He was such a humble loving man that showed his love to all. He was so special to our family and our 5 kids thought he was the “best” and grew up loving to listen to his songs I played as we lived in Ky. and didn’t visit Ohio a lot. We send our love to all of you. Praying God wraps His big arms of comfort around you all. Sister Carlene, I have no words to express how deep our sorrow is. May God give you peace only He can give! So sorry! ❤️?

To the Carty family, we are so very sorry Buddy has passed away. He was such a great guy and an inspiration to all! He will be missed!
Vickie Martin - Oct 31, 2020
Oh, how I will miss him! I still remember when my mother was dying of cancer, all she wanted to do was die at home, not in the nursing home. He and Sister Carlene were in Florida for the winter. When they heard that Mom wanted to die at home, (we couldn't take her home; we didn't have anyone who could stay with her 24/7 and we couldn't afford to hire someone). They immediately packed up and drove to Mom's all the way from Florida so that she could be granted her final wish. That is the kind of people they are. My story is just one of a 1,000. Now, he is resting from his labors and one day, I hope to see him again. Love you all!
Brigett Dye - Oct 31, 2020
I remember hearing him sing "I can't even Walk" for the first time and I've been singing that song ever since. It's a song that has gotten me thru a lot of rough times. He sang it for me whenever I'd see him. I thank the Lord he used Bro. Buddy to give me that gift. Love you all and I pray for your comfort.
Sis. Sharon Hicks - Oct 31, 2020
I am so sorry for his family’s deep loss, but so happy for his great gain; that sweet eternal rest! God comfort each of you. ❤️??
Buddy Workman - Oct 31, 2020
When my paw daddy( Willie Collins) was on his death bed he called for Brother Buddy to come to him. He asked Brother Buddy to watch over his children and grandchildren. Brother Buddy did just that, no matter when where or time the Collins family need Brother Buddy he was their. I remeber my Uncle Junior passed in Ironton Ohio Brother Buddy was in Florida some one sent word that he couldn't be with us but like I said he always anwered the call. Late that evening there he was. We love the Carty Family and repay all the prays you have given us. You dont loose when you die in the lord,speacially when you can just think about Bro Buddy sitting on the bank with Brother Newt and Brother Willie fishing away.
Roxie Hamilton - Oct 31, 2020

My heart aches for you but Bro Buddy heard that sweet voice calling on it wasn't the voice of a Turtle Dive it was the voice of the Father calling him home you have suffered enough come on home child.
