Many memories of high school and college days. You always brought fun along wherever you went! Love you and miss you. Relma

As we all "mature", our memories become even more special. Buddy was such a wonderful, intricate part of my youth. I feel so lucky to have known him - he could be wickedly witty, fun-loving, and kind. Still love you lots, Buddy!!

Buddy was a co worker at 1800flowers he was one of my favorite people. I learned from him and shared laughs.❤

Buddy always brought fun along when he entered a room. Although he was a couple of years ahead of me in high school, he is remembered by many of my classmates as a fun and special guy. We all loved to be in a conversation with him because of his wit and sometimes ribald humor. Rest in Peace, Buddy, and know that you are remembered and loved by so many people who knew you.

Was struck right away with the exuberance and joy for life he had. An honor to meet and know. Will miss him.

Very funny and real nice guy.....we miss ya Buddy......Helen, Janet and Jack McSweeney

I lost touch with him after college although my Mom would tell me occasional things about his floral designing while he was still in Tennessee. I treasure all my memories of him and was so sorry...

Buddy was a wonderful guy and I will miss him terribly. He was a best friend to my brother Rod and in turn was friends with all of our family. He was so nice to call and check on my mom and chat with her. I never had to worry about Rod being so far away because I knew the Buddy would take care of him. He always took time to come see us when we visited California and spend a special day with us making sure we were enjoying our visit. Every time I talked to him he was always asking when me...
