Not sure what to say?

A true gentleman and highly respected military aviator, I am grateful to have known Dr. Busch and been a patient of his. Godspeed sir and hope we meet again.

Doc Busch was one of a kind. A true pilot advocate and a good friend. Fair winds and following seas shipmate

Thank you for you service Sir.

Dear Busch family, He spoke of you often ,so I hope you know that you were loved. He was a large contributor to many aviators in so many factors, he gave from the heart to all in need and was a great friend to so many, he will not be replaced in our community. I thank the great creator for his friendship. Robert Dale

Dr. Busch helped me re-gain my flight medical back in 2016-2017. He was there for me when I needed his help the most. I will always be grateful to him for his help, support, guidance and above all, his friendship. I will miss him.

Shared many memories while in flight training in Meridian. He was such a riot to be around. So accomplished in his life and gone too soon.

Bill was one of a kind and my classmate in Pensacola Fl. We started with 8 in our class in Jan 77 and Bill is the only classmate I stayed in touch with. We both shared a passion for classic warbird aircraft to which we both collected. Truly a good friend who I will miss calling often to share our latest adventures. Farewell to a Great Friend Bob Hanner
