He was a true Northwoods man who loved camping with family, hunting, and fishing. Buzzy had a contagious laugh, great sense of humor and always told the best jokes. Most of all, he loved being with his family and friends. He taught us that life's journey should be filled with hard-work, and plenty of laughter.
