Glenburnie ON – With great sadness, the Township of North Frontenac and the County of Frontenac received news yesterday that Warden and Mayor Bud Clayton passed away on Monday September 1, 2014. Bud was 75 years of age and is survived by his cherished wife of 53 years, Jackie, two sons and beloved grandchildren.

Bud has been involved in municipal politics in the Frontenacs since 2000, when he was elected as a Councillor for North Frontenac Township. Elected Mayor of North Frontenac in 2010, Bud became a member of County Council the same year and took on the role of Warden in 2013.

“Bud was an extraordinary man. He loved people and was a committed husband and father. He was dedicated, realistic, community orientated and he touched so many hearts. Bud was a forward thinker and for the betterment of our community, he initiated North Frontenac Council’s first documented Strategic Directions,” says Fred Perry, Deputy Mayor of North Frontenac Township. “He made people smile and brought laughter to their lives. He was always there to give a helping hand to anyone and he had such a positive attitude.”

“As a member of County Council, Bud was always articulate in his discussions and worked hard to ensure that residents across Frontenac County received value for their tax dollars,” says Deputy Warden of Frontenac County Denis Doyle. “He always carefully listened to his peers and was pragmatic and logical in his approach to solve issues and create an atmosphere of continuous improvement and team work between staff and County Councillors. Thanks to Bud’s efforts over the past four years, the Frontenacs are a better place.”
