Sorry to hear about Uncle Jim. He lived a long life and had pretty good health up to the last couple of years. He will be missed. He was a character, that all who came in contact with him, wouldn't ever forget him.

Dear Buffington Family,
Jim will be much missed by his friends and fellow volunteers at College Park Aviation Museum. He had been a wonderful, faithful and well liked part of our "Ground Crew". I am so sorry I will not be able to attend the service in person as the museum has a Halloween program and I must help with the front desk duties. He will be in my thought as that is where he worked best. fondly, Jane Welsh and all the staff at CPAM
