Charles "Bud" Wade Hillard was the son of Hazel Margaret Wade (1900-1972) and Charles Richardson Hillard (1899-1967).
After graduating early from Analy Union High School in 1943, Bud took a drafting course at Stanford University and was subsequently employed as a Tanker Draftsman at Bektel's Marin Ship in Sausalito, California for one and one half years during World War II.
After the war he studied accounting at Santa Rosa Junior College where he graduated in 1946.
He married Nordine Adele Leary (1927-2009) on May 26, 1949 in Reno, Washoe County, Nevada. Nordine was the daughter of Emma Francis Freeman (1888-1966) and Warren Henry Leary (1883-1942). No issue.
Bud was an accountant for William Edman, his stepfather, the Ford dealer in Sebastopol, California. They lived at 2188 Bodega Road, Sebastopol, California, in the post adobe home constructed by his father, from 1962 until 1981.
In 1967, he became self employed in the automotive parts business in Sebastopol. Bud sold the auto parts business and retired in 1972.
In December 1981, they moved to the property they had purchased in 1965 near his father's new home in Etna, California. They designed and constructed a home. The home was "U" shaped and designed around an atrium in the center as Nordine particularly enjoyed the gardening of both flowers and vegetables.
In his earlier years, Bud loved to fish for steelhead, but in his later years he was forced to restrain his physical activity. He enjoyed tying flies for Nordine and was involved in Lapidary, the interest coming from Nordine's background in Geology.
