My Uncle Buzz was a good man. Throughout my years as a kid and a young adult I would go down and work on cars or rearrange the shop with him and grandpa. He always gave me a call to hang out with him and grandpa. Uncle Buzz was always a family man. He never once missed a family function and always made sure to make time for everyone. You will always be missed. Especially on my birthday. Sep. 2nd. Love you Uncle Buzz.
I just found out about Buzz's passing. I spoke with him several times in the last few months, the last time was to look at his GTX and hear some of his memories about the car. I knew he was in poor health but he seemed to be doing fine so this comes as quite a shock. I've known Buzz for about 30 years and have never laughed with anyone as much as with him. Such a great sense of humor. Whenever I saw him, no matter where it was, I would shout "Whatta ya NUTS?" in a perfect "Buzz" imitation. He always knew who it was without even looking and would respond, "Of course!" I will miss you and so will many others. My condolences to his family. Rest In Peace old friend.
