Buzz will be missed greatly. I met him in our yoga class at the VA, He always had a smile and shared great memories about his family. You could feel the love he had when he spoke about all of you and shared pictures of his granddaughter. My heartfelt condolences and prays are with you all.

I Love and miss you Buzz already...that smiling face and how you could make your eyes shake when you stared me down. From when we were kids or together in classes at Memorial High and hanging around together after we both were out of the service...we always had fun. (I know you always blamed me for breaking your model train...Ha Ha ..You were right). One thing I know most about you is you stood for what you believed in. You're safely with uncle Henry and aunt Peg no more pain. Goodbye my friend.

Was a joy knowing Buzz from VAMC, being in Yoga with him made me feel welcomed and in good company! His smile is what I will remember! How proud he was to be a grandfather and his joy sharing that with me! Blessings to the family and I will go on working on my positive outlook that he shared with me.

I always enjoyed talking to my cousin Buzz because I knew I would always get a straight answer. Although he looked rough on the exterior, and maybe even sounded rough, he had a heart of gold. If I still lived in Manchester I know that we would have been close friends. No doubt he is with the Lord now visiting with those who have gone before him. Our prayers are with the Sylvester family, my cousins, during this time. God Bless and keep you all.
