William E. "Buzzy" Rao Jr.

I was so saddened by the loss of Buzzy. I went to high school and attended Sam Houston State with him. I have many good memories of him, his laugh, his humor, and his kindness. I know you will keep those memories as well. My condolences to each of you.

I send my prayers and thoughts to the family of Mr. Bill. He was a great man to work with. I learned fast he liked to joke around and enjoyed hearing his ideas of new pranks while we waited to load our kids on the bus. Bill will be greatly missed by many.
