My sympathies to your family. It has been a long time but I have many fond memories of visiting your home during my school years it was always a fun place to go. It has been years since I've got to see you Sue. Would love a chance to visit while you're here let me know if anything works. I will have to miss the visitation and funeral due to my work schedule. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Sharon,

We are so sorry to learn that Buzz has passed. He was a great guy. We live in Arizona full time so we will not be able to attend his funeral but we want you to know that we will keep him in our thoughts and prayers.

I don't think I have ever met a man as nice and fun as Buzz. I talked to you Sharon at Walgreens right after I started going to church at First Lutheran. I knew you were a special lady right away especially when I found out we share the same birthday! I met Buzz in church shortly after and then sat by you every week in church. You will miss him terribly and so will all that knew him. Buzz is watching over you everyday. Take care and tell the girls and family how sorry we are. I will keep in touch.

I never knew Buzz, but I felt like I knew him from how much his wonderful daughter, Judy, talked about him at work. I could tell from all of her stories of her visits back home that he was a great man. All of us at work looked forward to hearing how Mom and Dad was doing when Judy would return. I feel comfortable saying that I'm pretty positive that he was indeed a wonderful man, husband, father, and I can't forget dog/barn cat owner. I say this because he raised a wonderful daughter that I have grown to know well over the last 8 years. May he Rest In Peace now and his family always be able to find him in their hearts.
