Please accept our Deepest Sympathy in the loss of your Son, Brother and Uncle, Buster. Wright Acres was a great place to grow up. All the kids, playing together. I remember Buster walking up the hill, always stopping to talk. To loose a child, there are no words to describe it. Our thoughts will be with you on the days ahead.

Like everyone else from the old neighborhood, I have nothing but fond memories of Buster. It was a wonderful place to grow up in and the Lombardo family was an important part of the fabric of Wright Acres. My sincere condolences to the entire family.

Buster was very important in our neighborhood. Always smiling, always happy. I think that is a tribute to his parents. I remember him waiting for the bus all the time to go to work. I bet they loved him there, too.

Thinking of you and your family, Patti. You were your brother's champion and you were always there to support and love him as only a devoted and caring sister can do.
