Robert "Bud" H. W. Budenski, 101, of West Concord, died Sunday, December 22, 2019, at Kenyon Sunset Home. He was born December 24, 1917, in Roscoe Township, the son of Louie and Mary (Riggers) Budenski. Bud grew up in Roscoe Township during the Great Depression. He attended country school until the 8th grade. The family moved to Cherry Grove Township where he made his home on the family farm. He owned and operated a dairy farm and had beef cattle with his three brothers. They did custom work which included silo filling, corn shredding and threshing. They also purchased a sawmill and did custom milling in the 1950's. Together they were known as the Budenski Brothers who formed Zumbro Threshers performing threshing shows at their home farm from 1955-1971. Bud was a longtime member of the Eagle's Club in Faribault and a member of the Le Sueur Pioneer Power which helped many small threshing shows get started by either loaning tractors, steam engines and other equipment or giving advice. They also performed together in a band called the Pleasant Valley Gang playing for local dances at nearby Eagles Clubs and local venues in the area. Bud was well known for his hard work. He had a love for tractors especially fixing up and restoring antique tractors and machinery. Bud was especially proud of his dairy cows and beef cattle. He is survived by many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Louie and Mary; brothers, Johnny, Louis, Edward and Albert Budenski; sisters, Ella Budenski, Rose Nord, Luella Sviggum and Hulda Andrist.
