I'm so sorry about the loss of Buster. I was out of town and Denny told me when I got home. We thought the world of him. He was always so happy, freindly, and loved to make people laugh. Miss seeing him at Rosie's Diner.

You all probably don't know me, But I am buster's grandaughter. He was and still is very special to me. I will hold him dear to my heart always. I had a really hard time when I heard of his passing. That night on thursday when I went to bed, Something came over me. Something possitive, because I laid in bed and I knew that my grandfather was with his son now (my dad). They are together. I am going to miss my grandfather very much. I want to take this time and thank everyone for everything that they have did and done for my grandfather.

I love you grandpa.
