Gosh, I just don't know where to start. Buz was a great mentor and wonderful person to work with at VCU Academic Computing. He encouraged me and believed in me when no one else did. He was a major influence in my career decision. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

It was a great honor to work with Buz and the rest of the wonderful staff at Academic Computing on the MCV campus so many years ago, when I first arrived in Richmond. Buz was always smart, helpful and kind. He was liked and appreciated by so many people. We will all miss him. Our prayers and thoughts are with his family and friends.
