We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Buster. We were neighbors for several years and he always had a smile on his face and a nice word to say. The family will be in our prayers.

I worked with Buster only a short period of time, he helped me on a few occasions. You could tell that he was willing to help anybody out, whenever needed. He always had a smile and was very friendly to everyone he met.
For whatever reason we may never know, God chooses certain special people to come and join him at his side! I’ve known a few in my lifetime that seemed to have gone to be with God way too soon! Well, we can add Buster to that list.
RIP, Buster! God received another special friend this week!

Jeff worked with Buster and said he never saw him without a smile on his face. I work with Kim and she is the same way. Praying the Holy Spirit comforts you through this difficult time.
