We can hardly believe that Buzz has been gone so long! When I saw the obit picture, it really took my breath away.....we miss that sweet face, always smiling! Whenever the "crowd" gets together, we are aware that someone is missing! We now have two good friends missing, as JB has joined Buzz in the hereafter, just recently! We are privileged to have been blessed to have had both men as friends, and will always miss their presence here! May the families of both men find comfort in the thought that we share their feelings of their absence in our lives! Love and Peace to both their families!

Dear Marylee,Meredith and Tommy: We are so sad to hear about Buzz's passing. He was one of the kindest, nicest and gentle man I/we have ever met and we were lucky to know him and call him a friend. Like you, we will miss him. Like you, we will cherish the memories; i.e., golf and maybe a beer(or 2) for me and Matt and just fun times over the years and of course, the "Thunder over Ashland" for the whole family! He lived a great life and was a great man. Celebrate Buzz's life.

Love the Spike McCormick Family

Take care!!
