I'm gonna miss him terribly and want to send my deepest condolences to sherry,his children,mom and dad and the rest of his family. When I think of Buster(that's who he'll always be to me) all I see is that smile and laugh.Buster was a very good friend and I'm glad I had the opportunity to go to school with him and to know him through our adult life! I will miss him forever!

Had not seen Buster for a long time, but I still have my memories from NDHS of a tall lanky frame walking the hall, always seeming to have a grin on his face. Gone too soon my friend, but now free from the cares and pains of this world. So until we meet again, may God be with you and your family.
