So sorry to hear about Mr. Busse's passing. I was his secretary for several years when he was the Deputy Project Manager for the BLACK HAWK PMO. He was an absolute pleasure to work for. May he rest in peace.

I was very sorry to learn of Conrad Busse's death.
I wish to extend my and my wife Lea's sympathy to his
daughters, grandchildren, great-grandchildren
and other relatives.
My most recent contact with Conrad was when I
convened a get-together between Conrad, myself Bob
Stokely and Richard Francis to visit our old
classrooms at Washington University and eat lunch
there, a few years ago.
Conrad, Richard and I sat near each...

I have worked with and for Conrad since 1972. He was a true professional in every sense of the word. It was an honor and pleasure to have known him. Be assured that he is at peace and with Sue in the Lord's Grace.
