Russell Irwin “Bud” Chesebro (91) of Boulder, died July 21, 2010 at his residence. Bud founded and operated Chesebro Plumbing and Heating and was landlord for many of the dance studios (Community Dance Collective & Kakes Studios) for years. He was a true 'friend of the dance', rarely raising rents which to this day, makes it possible for so many of the dance community to use affordable rehearsal and class space. He enjoyed snowmobiling, traveling and dancing with his wife Geneva. Bud served in the US Navy from 1942-1945, and is a former member of Boulder ELKS Lodge B.P.O.E. #566.
Thank you both for enriching our lives....
