A man of the outdoors, Buddy found great joy in hunting and fishing, passions that allowed him to appreciate the beauty of nature. He was often seen riding his Harley, tending to his garden, or feeding the birds. His gentle spirit extended to all creatures, even to a skunk that amusingly took a liking to his motorcycle.

He leaves behind his devoted fiancé, Debra Fridley of Manchester, NH, and his loving children, sons Jason Carignan and Randy Carignan of Manchester, NH, and daughter Kari Fridley of Pickerington, OH.
