Harold E. "Bud" Shobe, 88, a long-time resident of Belmond, died on February 6, 2006 at the Arlington Court Nursing Center in Columbus, Ohio. Services were held February 9.

Bud was born in Sheffield on March 18, 1917, the son of Frank and Theresa Shobe. His family relocated to Waterloo, where he graduated from high school. He moved to Belmond in 1946 following his discharge from the U.S. Navy, after World War II. He was employed by General Mills, Central Soya, and eventually the Belmond School System. Bud and his wife Ann retired to Plant City, Florida in the early 1980's. In 2005 they moved to Ohio to be closer to family. An exceptional trapshooter, Bud enjoyed competing in many area trapshooting events, progressing to the state and national levels. He had a lifetime love of fishing and hunting and could always be counted on "bagging his limit" with squirrel and pheasant. In his later years golf became his passion and living in Florida meant he could pursue it on a daily basis.

Bud was preceded in death by his parents and five sisters. Survivors are his wife Ann, daughter Diane Rasmussen (Dewey Fisher), grandsons Erik and David (Carrie) Rasmussen, and great-grandson Kurtis, all of Worthington, Ohio.
