Was quite surprised to find Buzz's obit in the Times online listing. Was not aware he had passed on almost 2 months ago. Buzz spent a lot of time with me while I was recovering from my bypass operation about 11 years ago but we never got together again. My oondolences to Jay and Mandy. Your Dad was a great guy.
