Stanton ‘Bud’ Willard Alger

April 25, 1942 – October 31, 2010

      Born in Maryland, Bud honed his passionate interest in all things mechanical at Baltimore Polytechnic Institute. During the Vietnam war, he served in Thailand as a communications specialist and worked on early television systems which led to jobs from NBC in California to his final job as Chief Engineer at KCTS in Seattle.

      Bud’s lifelong studies took him from the Berklee School of Music in Boston to UC Berkeley’s Department of Philosophy. Interests included sailing, photography, mountain rescue, and scouting. Bud was scoutmaster of his son Fred’s Bainbridge Island Troop 1564 from 1997 to 2001.

      Bud met his first wife Kathy in the Army and they enjoyed forty years of adventure before her death of cancer in 2003. He is survived by his son Fred (Elizabeth) and three granddaughters, and by his wife Ann Lovejoy, and step-sons Peter and Andrew (Kate) Lovejoy.

      A celebration of Bud’s life will be held at Bainbridge Island’s Eagle Harbor Congregational Church on Sunday, December 5th at 6 p.m., followed by a potluck. Memorial donations may be made to Bainbridge Public Library or Harmony Hill Cancer Retreat.
