Perry Buster

This is about my friendship Perry Buster. We became instant friends when we met in 1953.

We were both juniors at Pateros High School with the same interests in Sports, Guitars, and girls! It has lasted 56 years.

We soon started entertaining with our “Harmony & Sivertone guitars to whoever would listen. We especially enjoyed singing to the pretty girls!

We graduated in 1955 after playing together in ALL sports at PHS. We were the only 2 boys who played...

I first knew Perry in high school, unfortunately he was an opponent and not a team mate. He was an excellent Basketball player and excelled in track. Later when he enrolled at E W U we renewed the friendship. He was always so much fun. None of us could wait for the weekend and the Stompers. He will be missed. Ray Gilman

Perry was a wonderful friend and entertainer. His death has left a hole that will never be filled by anyone. I knew him from when he around the Davenport area and played music there. He was well known and well liked.

I knew Perry from EWU and later the Happy Hour in Spokane Valley. Perry and Kay lived a few blocks from us and my wife, Dorene, had one of their children in her 2nd grade class. I bought a Ventures Model Mosrite guitar from Perry in 1965. He was a great performer and could sing any thing you asked him to do. We just started e-mailing through the classmates.com web site after we found each other again. I can't begin to express my deepest sympathy to Perry's family. I will certainly miss...

Perry Buster was one of best singers and rhythm guitar players. He was a "Human JukeBox" who could sing any song you would mention. I had the pleasure of singing and playing music with Perry off and on since 1953 when we met in high school. We formed "The STOMPERS" band in 1958 at EWU. Perry was a caring, giving person who brightened many lives with his beautiful music. -Dan Miller

I grew up with Perry's daughter, Keri, and son, Darin. Keri is one of my best friends to this day. Perry was an awesome person and so much fun. He was very much involved in my childhood. He always took Keri and I out to the lake and we would have so much fun. I will always remember Perry Buster!!! My sincere condolences to everyone in the family. May the great memories of Perry live on in all of our hearts forever!

Perry was a very special person and will be dearly missed. I will always cherish the memories of dancing and listening to the Stompers as a teenager at the open air pavillions in Pateros and Brewster. My favorites were "Blue Moon of Kentucky" and "Mule Skinner Blues". A ready smile, a cool voice and a warm hand shake, that was Perry.
