He was born on November 25, 1940, the son of Shirley and Gladys (Davis) Spiehler.
Born and raised in Spencer County, Bud joined the United States Army after high school. He was united in marriage to Mary Kay Masterson on December 19, 1971, and together they shared 52 wonderful years.

In addition to his parents Bud was preceded in death by his sister, Betty Miller (Mendel Miller) and his sister-in-law, Peggy Howe, who was more like a sister to him.
There will be a private graveside service at a later date.
