Memories and Condolences

Sixty five years ago, as a three year old, we lived in downtown Millerstown, and six mornings each week we would hear the big ol' diesel fire up in the mill against the hill. My dad would be shaving and explain how old Mr. Stark (Buzz's dad) was making animal food.
Thus began a many decade friendship with the Stark family. As so many have said in earlier posts, Buzz was someone you were blessed to know. A consummate story teller, local historian, and great friend to my father, my family, and me. No other person I know could make an hour sitting on a sack of birdseed a more enjoyable and enriching experience. Although Ron comes close!
Ron and family, our deepest and most sincere condolences. Your dad was an original. Wise men have observed that, in the long run, the best thing we can leave our children is a good name and a good example. Your dad succeeded at both.
Rest in peace, Friend.

My deepest sympathies to the Stark family. Mr Stark was one of the best men I´ve ever known. His presence at the store he was an icon. I looked forward to seeing him and Miss Kitty. I´m glad I was able to see him earlier in the week but did not expect hearing this .... He will be sorely missed by all. Until we meet again. Darlene Hastings.

We are sorry for your loss. Your dad was part of the Greatest Generation and will be fondly remembered by everyone who knew him. His passing will leave a big empty space in your hearts. Thinking of you and your entire family from across so many miles.

To Ron and family,I am so sorry to hear about Floyd. I went to the feed store many years ago to buy rabbit and dog food. Floyd was pleasant and kind. I was young and realized that I should be like him. Floyd´s example went far more than he knew.
