Dear Lynne, Bob and Laura, the entire Kazmar family hold Bill/Buck in our collective memories, from the earliest days at Sharpe School, and your family lifetime on Richey Ave. Louise and Bill engendered two terrific sons. Your family was a gift to our family, long-treasured with fond remembrances. So, thank you all. Bill, Ruth, Judy, Karen and our spouses.

Lynne, Bill & Paul,
I was so sad to hear the news that "Mr Rogers" had passed away. My memories of him and your family on Burrwood Avenue are so vivid. The photos you've chosen for the Gallery are just the way I remember him - smiling, laughing and larger than life. Despite long distances and many years since those Bluebird days, I feel a deep sense of loss as you were all such an important part of my childhood. The world is truly a better place for having had Buck in it and we were all very fortunate to have the privilege of knowing him. I know you and your extended family will be feeling an enormous loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you.
