I remember Buster like it was yesterday. We roomed in an apartment together in South Bound Brook. He had a wonderful girlfriend named Joanie. Buster and I met in the summer of 1975 and worked together at Dix Hills in Middlesex. He got me a job later at GAF in South Bound Brook. Buster never stopped making us laugh. I remember the trips we would take to New York City with a car load of guys to have fun for the day. He had striking red hair and a blue Olds-442 convertible back then and we would take it to the shore on weekends. He had a way about him: he was tough yet he was very kind, he forgave people and enjoyed life. I am sorry to read this news of his passing years later after his death, but we should never miss the chance to say good-bye to someone that meant so much to us. Obviously you are still missed Buster, Rest In Peace.

I am very sad to learn of Gary's passing. Buster and I were good friends growing up in the eary 70's. His family were great people and we shared many laughs cause thats just the way it was. We once attempted to ride our bicycles down the shore. We made it as far as New Brunswick, ditched the bikes in the woods and hitch hiked the rest of the way there and back. I am sure he will be sadly missed by many.

Even though we never met I considered you a friend. Your sister has told me so much about you and on the phone you referred to me as a (country bumpkin) and made me laugh during our conversations. You will be greatly missed.
You and your sisters are in my prayers and may you Rest in Peace.
