A.W. “Buddy” Baggerly was born at Dog Ridge Texas on March 15, 1931. He was the oldest son of Richard and Lela Mae (Nettle) Baggerly. In 1952 he met and married Bernadette DaSilva, and he later married Velva June West in 1963.
He was the proud father of three sons, David of Spring, Texas; Tommy of Corpus Christi, Texas; and Troy of Belton, Texas. He was also the grandfather of eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Buddy was a heavy equipment operator for over 50 years and installed many miles of underground utilities in South Texas. Buddy was an avid hunter and fisherman and he loved country music, especially George Jones.
He also enjoyed taking care of his yard and garden. Buddy is survived by his three sons, sister Winnie Culp of Belton; brothers James of Holland, Texas; Floyd of Jourdanton, Texas; Larry of Belton, Texas; Donnie of Belton, Texas; and Ronnie of Waco, Texas, as well as 34 nieces and nephews.
Buddy was preceded in death by his parents, sisters Minnie Browning and Joyce Spence of Belton, and brothers Bob of Belton and Richard of Temple. Buddy conducted his business with a handshake and his word was his bond, and we are running out of people like him. He will be dearly missed by a multitude of friends and family.
