I was so sorry to hear that Mr. Rindahl had passed. I have known the Rindahl’s most of my life. Mr. Rindahl was one of my Sunday school teachers at Bethlehem and I went to school with Brent, Blake and Barry. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Brenda, Ron and family, I am so sorry to hear of Buds’ passing. Sending thoughts and prayers during this tough time. Loosing a parent is hard no matter what age we are.

My sincere condolences to Jeanette and the entire Rindahl family. Bud was a valuable member of the North Dakota Air National Guard. He made sure he was available to assist for any and all key training, inspections and deployments. He set a wonderful example for all of us and was a tremendous member of our 119th Supply organization. He will be missed. Warm Regards,
Thoughts and prayers to the family
