Ronnie, Patrick and Laurie - please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your husband, father and an overall great man. He really knew how to have a good time, loved to golf, tell a joke or several - I am sure He and Jim are sharing one of those right now. I know he will be missed by many. May God be with you and your families through this time of need. He knows when you need Him. God Bless.

Ronnie & family. Sorry for your loss of Buz. Knew Buz from our Sacred Heart & Harding days. Saw him only occasionally over the years, but enjoyed seeing him. Unable to attend the service. Will keep you & him in our prayers and will have a Mass said for him at the Assumption Church. God Bless!!

Ronnie, Patrick & Lauri: I want you to know that I am thinking about you and praying for each of you. If there is ANYTHING I can do for you, please...please..please do not hesitate to ask. To say that you helped us through a difficult time, is an understatement. I could never repay you for all your support, assistance, etc. I am deeply saddened by your loss. My heart goes out to each of you! May God Bless you all!

P.S. It is no secret that my mother didn't like alot of people, but Uncle Buz was definately not one of them. She thought the world of him. The two of them together now...I can only image.

To the Ruettimann family,

I am saddened to read of Buz's passing. It has been so many years since we have seen each other. I suspect there are many in your family that do not even know of the "cousins". I have a clear mental picture of Buz still in my mind and heart. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. May Buz rest in peace.

Those we love can't go away.
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near.
Still loved; still missed, and very dear.
You will be dearly missed Buz!
Your loving Sis, Mary Lou
