Norman “Bud” Ronald Ihde was born on January 9, 1941 to Richard and Alma (Meyer) Ihde on the family farm near Decorah, IA. He graduated from Decorah High School in 1958. Bud met Kay Keefe at Matters Ball Room and they were married on November 11, 1962 at the First Lutheran Church in Decorah. Prior to their meeting, Kay recalls watching him drive down the street and telling her sister all about her future marriage intentions to this handsome young man. Together they farmed and raised their four sons on the family farm southeast of Decorah. Bud was a gentle, quiet man but had a great sense of humor. He was a family man that never missed one of his kids’ sporting events. This love of family continued with the addition of his grandchildren.
