In addition Buzz had 5 brothers-in-law, 5 sisters-in-law and 20 nieces and nephews who loved and adored their "Uncle Buzz'. He was preceded in death by his younger brother Carlos. Buzz was a most amazing man. Devoted to his family, kind, generous to a fault, a mentor, a beautiful and wonderful friend with a great sense of humor. We were blessed to have him for 83 years. He was the best ! He will be greatly missed by all. A Memorial Mass and Celebration of his life and his many, many accomplishments will be scheduled for Sept. 12, 2020. Please save the date.

When Bob Miranda called and told of Buzz's passing I was deeply saddened and as per his legacy details, we will all miss this outstanding man for sure. Bob and I worked for Buzz and those were great times. Though its been years, I can still recall vividly the wonderful dinner gatherings at his home.....I even later mimicked a similar barbecue-poolside dining/ surprise birthday party for my late wife Susie.
Buzz was role model that encouraged me- that I too can be an architect. He showed that besides talent one needs to work hard to get ahead. I am sure his loving wife Helen helped in so many ways for Buzz to accomplish what he did.
Sorry I missed his memorable celebration of life gathering...... wished I could've been there, however the Pandemic, Fires in Oregon and especially my medical conditions limits me.
Here's wishing the Garcia Family, especially Helen- Much Love & Aloha....PS...to Buzz- while in heaven, say hello to Susie and others, have a great time until we join ya! Love Tom and gael
