He was born in Eagle on May 27, 1928, to Harlan L. and Estia (Knott) Middaugh. Bud graduated from Lake Odessa High School in 1947. His career of service station ownership started in 1946, and was interrupted by his service in the U.S. Army as a medic in Germany during the Korean War of 1950-1952. His ownership of Middaugh’s Service Station continued until he sold the station in 1979. Bud continued working for several years as an orderly at the Ionia County Memorial Hospital. He was a life-long member of the Jackson-Mutschler VFW Post 4461 in Lake Odessa, where he had served as commander and was currently serving as quartermaster. Bud was a jack-of-all-trades. When he could find time he enjoyed fishing. He is survived by Ann, his loving wife of 50 years; his children, Sally Middaugh of Lake Odessa, Gary (Barb) Middaugh of Charlotte, and Kate (Eric Morrison) Middaugh of New Port Richie, Fla.; his grandchildren, Josh and Brent Middaugh; his brother LaVern (Helen) Middaugh of Lake Odessa; his uncle LaVern Eldridge of Lake Odessa; and many other relatives and friends. Bud was preceded in death by his parents; his granddaughter, Cassandra; and his daughter-in-law, Lynn Middaugh. Graveside services are 1 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 18 at Lakeside Cemetery in Lake Odessa.
