I’m very sorry for your loss. Buster was such a kind, gentle man. His passing has left me broken hearted.
Greg, I was sorry to hear of your Father’s passing. Our thoughts are with you.
Buster was my friend. And I valued that friendship a lot. He was also one of those faceless patriots who spent most of his adult life toiling in obscurity deep in the warrens of U S Strategic Command. His contributions to keeping the peace are very hard to measure but they were significant.
I am sorry for your loss and I pray Almighty God may comfort you.
I am so very sorry for the loss of a wonderful man. I was a barber on base and I will never forget the first time I met Buster. He walked into my shop with a great smile and kind eyes and asked me ” Do you know how to do a Hollywood cut?” I said no sir. He said “I’m gonna teach you” from that moment we were good friends. He will be greatly missed. Fly high Buster. R.I.P.
