James R. "Buddy" Farson Jr.

Buddy was a good friend and I'm so sorry , that I lost contact for so many years, Phylis, forgive me for not being there for him. I just found out on aug.7. You are in our Prayers.

I am very sorry to learn of Buddy's passing. It had been on my mind to contact him for about a month. Sadly I misplaced his info.

Buddy was a great story teller and leader. He could with a few intelligent words, captivate a whole crowd or one person. With a great life lesson or punch-line at the end. I am so sorry for his grandchildren. He had a lifetime of knowledge to help them. To those family members who are left behind, I encourage you to talk about him often. Share stories as he did. We all have to grin at A "Buddy story" now and then in the SE district of the KDF.

so sorry

I am so sorry to hear of Buddy's passing. I just found out today. I will always remember the jokes he told, he always got me to believe the most rediculous things. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I was so sorry to hear of Buddy's passing. I am sorry I did not stay in touch with you over the years; I have thought of the Farson family often. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

My sympathies with all the family. I haven't seen Buddy or any of you in years, but you are in my prayers

Buddy was a good uncle, and no matter what I loved him, and we had a lot of fun together. He was a great joker, and a fun person. I wish I would of gotten to spend a lot more time with him. I really missed out..

I am so sorry to hear about Buddy. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Buddy and I worked together at DWM in Enforcement for several years. We shared many laughs, he always had a joke to tell and was such a prankster! He was just one of the reasons that made work so much fun! Buddy will be greatly missed by many.

I have always had and will always have fond memories of Buddy. I worked with Buddy several years in state government. He was one of my favorite people.......always making me laugh and telling me stories...never a boring moment when Buddy was around. He had a way of brightening your day. May your memories bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time. GOD BLESS you and your family.

We were so sorry to hear about Buddy. We have fond memories of the "early" years. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

With love always,

Bob and Martha Henderson

I am sorry to hear about Buddy. He was one of the most interesting men that I have ever met. Buddy possessed the power to single handedly influence the moral of his employees by just being himself. We all looked forward to coming to work every morning when he was here. We share stories of his antics with our co-workers constantly. We will always keep his memory alive. My condolences again. Viva Buddy

I will definitely share my memories of the good ol' days when Buddy was here to all of the newcomers to the KDF Southeast District. Buddy was one of those people who only comes around once in a lifetime.

What can I say, Buddy was like a father to me. He will always hold a special place in my heart and memories. I love you all so much, and wish I could be there with you. Rich, Jackson and I are sending lots of prayers your way. All my love, Amanda Minter Pistner

I am very sorry to hear of Buddy's passing. We met in the early 1970's while I was attending the Foresrty program at U.K. We spent many enjoyable moments with Dr. Don Graves, laughing and enjoying each others company. Peace and grace be with his family in this time of remembrance.

My and my families thoughts are with the Farson family. Many fond memories of Buddy from the 70s and 80s.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time.

We are so sorry to hear about Buddy. Our Prayers are with you. Mike has missed Buddy ever since he left Southeast.
