I just found out about Buddy's passing. He was a great guy. He was on of my Volvo customers. Anytime he came to Lexington for service or doctor's appointment he would stop by and we would chat for ever. He always had something to talk about. His wife's Volvo, the airplane he built, and all the guns he has. He sent me a list of guns that I might like. He always wanted me to sell more cars. He would check with his daughters just to make sure. Showed me pictures of his dog. I am so sorry he is gone. He really was a good guy. Prayers to the family. RIP. Bob Peck
