Memorial services were held on Saturday, March 14, 2015 at the Zion Lutheran Church in Waterloo, Iowa for Irey Norman "Bud" Rose, age 83, of Waterloo who died on Tuesday, March 10, 2015 at Ravenwood Nursing and Rehab Center. In accordance with his wishes, his body has been donated to the University of Iowa College of Medicine in Iowa City, Iowa.

Irey Norman Rose was the fourth of five sons born on May 6, 1931 to Irey and Mabel (Kirkestue) Rose near Postville, Iowa. Bud married Ann Marie Heckman on August 8, 1954 at the Little Brown Church in Nashua, Iowa. They were the parents of two daughters. They lived in New Hampton, Iowa until 1993 when they moved to Waterloo to be near their daughters' families.

Bud was a salesman at heart and could talk with anyone about anything during his life. He worked as a fertilizer and chemical salesman for Midland/Cenex/Land O' Lakes for twenty years. He loved traveling Iowa and enjoyed the hundreds of people he met over the course of his career. Bud loved the "hands-on" part of life as he constantly tinkered with computers, lawn mowers, power tools or anything that needed repair. He was always ready to take on any household projects for his family, whether on the ground or thirty feet in the air.

Irey is survived by his wife Ann; two daughters Sandra (Duane) Lichty and Debra (Michael) Grimson, both of Waterloo; two grandchildren Joshua (Jennifer) Kannegieter of Monticello, Minnesota and Hanna Rose Grimson of Waterloo; two great-grandchildren Peter James and Samuel Lewis Kannegieter; and numerous brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law; nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his four brothers Laverne, Charles, Eugene, and Bernard Rose.
