Buddy was born in Taunton, Massachusetts on May 29th, 1940, son of Mildred and Sheldon Burgoyne. A graduate of Taunton High School in 1958, Buddy attended The Rhode Island School of Design while working at Nu-Brite Chemical Co. followed by work at Samuel Cabot Paint Company where he became a production supervisor and was widely beloved. Buddy was knowledgeable and talented in many areas including fishing, boating, automobile restoration and repair, gardening, racetrack gaming, bowling, cooking, wine/beer-making, woodworking, and was a self-taught welder and plumber. Buddy had an effusive sense of humor that kept him playful and resilient throughout his life. 

He was a friend to many and loved all his family most of all. His second love was eating shellfish, especially lobster. He loved the ocean so much he once said he might come back as a whale.
