Just heard about Buzz passing today. Worked with Buzz on the Police Dept and enjoyed his company and sense humor. Our ranks are smaller by one.

A true man's man, my buddy Buzz. His presence would light up a room, his stern look would broaden to the biggest smile as soon as he would shake your hand with his steel grip. I will always admire his style, his generousity, and especially his love for his family. One of the great one's, he will always and forever be in our hearts.
