Thank you, sir. You saved my life in 1992 and was the last doctor who I can say was a real gentleman as well as professional specialist and a scientist for the masses. A true credit to humanity. sincerely mike

My Dear Barrie, my heart goes out to you. Buz was such a kind and caring person. I'll never forget him in the 1980s when he was Cancer Center Director and I was lucky enough to see him at work first hand. Always, giving, smiling and wanting to know how we the staff of the Cancer Center were doing....a great loss.

It's very clear, our love is here to stay. That's how I have always felt about my amazing Uncle Buz. The entire family feels a profound loss yet feels a profound gain in having such a remarkable man in our lives. We are all so inspired by Buz's love and we will go forth because that's what he would want for all of us.
Your forever loving niece, Gail (aka Barbra)
