Bud was born on October 19, 1928 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He was the only child of the late Rev. Aldrich and Jessie Dusseljee. As a PK (preacher's kid) he lived in many different states, finally settling in West Michigan. He served in the United States Army during the Korean War as a Military Police Officer stationed in Germany. After his tour of duty, he returned to Holland to start his family with his bride, Lois Gertrude Bode. He was best known in the Holland area for his love of cars, working as a used car salesman and manager. He was also a long time member at Montello Park CRC. Bud enjoyed spending time with his family. Family vacations often revolved around camping, fishing, and water skiing. Bud was an avid water skier and excellent fisherman. Bud passed on the joy of these activities to his children. In his retirement years, Bud and his wife were "snowbirds", heading south in their RV every winter. If Bud was at home, you would likely find him in one of three places. He enjoyed working on his yard, tinkering with a project in his garage, or enjoying a cup of coffee with his friends at a local restaurant.
