Laymn "Bud" Chris Slavick • 1927 - 2011 Bud was born on April 24, 1927, a son of Chris and Anna (Miller) Slavick in Minot, ND and was educated within the Minot Public School system. On February 26, 1946, Bud enlisted into the US Army, where he was active with the medic unit. He received the American Theatre Ribbon, the Meritorious Unit Award and the World War II Victory Ribbon. He was honorably discharged as a Buck Sergeant on August 20, 1947. In May 2011, Bud's service to his country was honored as he was selected as a member of the World War II Veterans Honor Flight. He considered his trip to Washington, DC and the patriotic welcome back to be one of the proudest moments of his life. He was a lifelong member of the American Legion Post #26 for over 50 years. Upon his discharge from the army, Bud began working as an apprentice for Mowbray and Son Plumbing and Heating and soon obtained his journeyman status. He was a member of the Plumbers and Fitters Local Union #30. He retired in 1988 after 40 years with the company. On April 12, 1950, Bud was united in marriage to Virginia Ahmann at St. Leo’s Parish. Bud's love for his wife was immeasurable. He was proud of his children and cherished all of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Bud liked to hunt, fish, and travel, but he mostly enjoyed sitting on his deck, sipping a cup of coffee, and visiting with his family and many friends. Bud's yard was a reflection of his love for serenity and beauty.
