Ronald W. Bustin

Just wanted to offer my condolences to the family. My son took Russian for 4 years at WHS. He said Mr. Bustin was a great teacher and very fair. May you rest in peace Mr. Bustin and may the Lord bless you.

I remember Mr. Bustin coming to Maplewood Grammar School when I was in the 3rd grade. He taught us through 8th grade. My condolences to the family of Mr. Bustin.
