He worked for many years as a heavy equipment operator and was a union member of the Operating Engineers. His ability to operate cranes, dozers, and excavators was appreciated by the men who worked with him. In 1960, Buddy was initiated into the Local 450 in Texas and retired in California where he was a member of the Local 3. He owned The Diamond G ranch in Pandale, Texas where he enjoyed hunting and fishing. Buddy owned several dogs that he loved, but one had a special place in his heart – Miss Penny Goff.
