To the Busfield family.\,

I am saddened to hear of the passing of you husband/dad. Yet I have fond memories of Mr. Busfield from Buz and my grade school and high school days. Mostly, I remember him as my Babe Ruth Baseball coach of the Cubs around 1965-66. He was a good man, a good coach and friend, and, I suspect, a good father. You are all in my prayers.

To Dottie and her entire family, I offer my deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers. I hope that my husband and myself grow together like Dottie and Bud. Not only were they husband and wife, but truly best friends. Bud was a wonderful man with a zesty sense of humor, and he will be greatly missed, but never forgotten!

Fred and I offer our deepest sympathy on the death of your husband, father and grandfather. We came to know how devoted he was to his family through the stories our daughter-in-law shared of her childhood. It ws a privilege to have met such a lovely man. Cheryl Mayers (Mt. Joy, PA)
