Pam and Nicole,
Sorry for your loss. Buzz was a great guy. I can remember growing up and playing with all the LeValley kids when they gathered in Harveyville. Watching Buzz and Marvin play softball, and always feeling welcomed at your house.

Dearest Pam & Nicole, we are so sorry about Buzz. He was a part of our family and we will never forget how he always welcomed us into yours way back when Corey and Michelle started dating. Josh always thought of you both as a "bonus" set of Grandparents. He was so deeply loved by everyone. We will always remember him as the kind, funny, and great to be around kind of guy he truly was. There is not a time that we can remember Buzz and not laugh about all the funny stories he had to tell. We will always be there for you and love you both. With deepest sympathy, Ed & Marlene Beleski

Mark pretty much sums up everything I could say. Buzz was the ultimate Uncle. I was never at a loss for a laugh with him around. When mom passed away , Uncle Buzz and Aunt Pam became like another set of Grandparents for Kendall, Rylee, and Abbi. I know they miss him just as much as I do. My heart breaks knowing he will never be able to show the girls the fish , and the frogs in the pond again. Godspeed Uncle Buzz.

Aunt Pam & Nicole...I love both of you so very much & if there is anything you need, we are always here for you both. Buzz was much more than an Uncle to me. He was a pal, a HERO, & the coolest guy I have ever known! He was so good to my brothers & me as we were growing up. When each of us were lucky enough to become a husband & eventually a father, Buzz was just as loving to our wives & kids. His humor & wit was legendary. He always had a joke to share in virtually every conversation we had. I don't know of a more popular person. I'm going to miss him so very much, but will forever have him in my heart.
