Laurence VINEYARD Obituary
Buzz is survived by his three daughters, Rebecca, Niña, and Angie, their mother Linda, and grandchildren Max, Mia, Baxter, and Miles. Buzz is also survived by his siblings Akash ("Tom"), Jim, Bill, Judy, Bob, and Kim, along with their spouses and children. He was preceded in death by his parents, Hugh and Louise, and sister Viki.
Born in Lewiston, Idaho, but a lifelong resident of Spokane, he built a life around music. A member of the Guild of American Luthiers, he spent decades building flat-top and archtop guitars and mandolin-family instruments by hand, writing and playing music.
His spirit, his craft, and talents were all so precious and beautiful; his tenacity a force to behold. Please hold him up in the light of your love. A remembrance gathering will be scheduled in Spokane next summer. Sending hugs, comfort, and love to all who cherished him.

I have fond memories of Buzz out at Newman lake such a long time ago, I used to watch him strum his electric guitar with no amp and singing, it must have been about 55 years ago. RIP Buzz, thinking of you and your family.
