Casmer Ruzycki, Jr.
December 05, 1948 - January 13, 2010

Casmer "Bud" Ruzycki Jr. Age 61, of Mesa passed away peacefully on Jan. 13, 2010. Bud was born in Detroit, Michigan on December 5, 1948 to Irene Wodarczyk and Casmer Ruzycki. Bud grew up and worked at the family's corner store to which their home was attached. He graduated from St. Alphonsus in 1966, and went on to serve the US Army as a Military Police Officer from 1969-1971. Bud married Suzanne Stypula Ruzycki in 1970 and together they had one son, Paul. In 1975, they headed to Arizona to start a new life. Bud and Suzie opened the doors to EDG in 1984 with the motto "We Are One." Over the next 25 years, Bud not only built a successful business, but he made friendships that would last a life time. He will be sorely missed, yet forever remembered. Bud was preceded in death by his wife Suzie and his father Casmer. He is survived by his mother Irene Ruzycki, son Paul Ruzycki, sister Carol Jerry Naibert, brothers Tom Kay and Dan Kathie Ruzycki, sister-in-law Diane Stypula, JoAnn Peter Wooding, 11 nieces and nephews, 12 great nieces and nephews, and many cousins. Bud is also survived by his girlfriend Betty Jean Polanski, who he had been "going steady" with for the past 13 years; Jane "Ma" Polanski; Sydnie Cunegunda, his granddaughter who was the absolute light of his life; Benjamin Nicole Bagozzi; Julie Bagozzi and countless friends in Michigan and around the country. He loved to love; he loved his family and friends; he loved to give; he loved Route 66 runs with Betty Jean, his Buick classic and dear friends. Most of all he loved being Dziadek Ja-Gee - Grandpa in Polish to his number one girl, Sydnie. Bud lived life to the fullest, celebrating life's blessings and beauties - his passion for life was shared with all he knew through his words and actions. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the NEMRA EDUCATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION in Bud's name. A Memorial Gathering will be held on Friday, Feb. 12, 3:00 - 9:00 pm with a Rosary at 7:00 pm at the Dearborn Chapel of the Howe-Peterson Funeral Home 22546 Michigan Ave, Dearborn, 48124.

Funeral Arrangements were handled by the Howe-Peterson Funeral Home located at 22546 Michigan Avenue in Dearborn (Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep I am not there I do not sleep I am a thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints on snow I am the sunlight on ripened grain I am the autumn's gentle rain when you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight I am the soft stars that shine at night do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there I did not die)
