He was born at home in Georgetown on October 7, 1932, the son of Charles and Lottie (Spicer) Felgenhauer. He was united in marriage to Margaret Janice (Jan) Norvelitis (his soulmate) on May 27, 1977 in Georgetown.

He is preceded in death by his parents, five brothers (Robert, Delmar, James, Mel, Gene), and one sister Eula Boggess.

After graduating from high school in 1950, he held several jobs, then volunteered to join the Army in 1951 and served in Germany. He then volunteered to go to Korea and served in the Korean War from 1952 to 1953. He retired from the CSX Railroad after 38 years of service.

Bud was a lover of the outdoors. In his earlier years, he enjoyed mostly hunting and fishing. Later in life, his beloved hobbies included golfing and yardwork. Keeping the lawn and landscape in tip top shape was a burning desire for him and was even found mowing the lawn and laying mulch in the last few weeks of his life. Whenever he wasnt outdoors, you could find Bud cheering on the Green Bay Packers, Illinois Fighting Illini, and St. Louis Cardinals. He even watched a Cardinals victory in the few remaining hours of his life. Spending precious time with all his family was also very adored and treasured by Bud. Any remaining free time was spent solving Sudoku puzzles.
