I had not seen Buster since working with him in the late 60'sand early 70's at Kenrose. Those were volatile times in the apparel industry, and Buster was always the center of reason and sanity. A true professional in every since of the word. I am sorry to see that he is gone but happy for his long and successful life.

I worked with Buster at Kenrose. He was the ultimate professional, a true gentlemen and a "good guy". I will always remember him, with admiration and respect. My sympathy goes out to the family in the loss of this fine man.
