Dear Scott,Cheryl, Jory, and Eunice,
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Buzzie with so much love. When he met Jonnie, he tried to warn him about our family. He was a very loving man. we are sorry we will not be able to attend but we send all our love.

I am so sorry for your loss, I only met the man a few times over the many years I have known Scott and we always had a great time together. In reading his obituary it sounds like he led a full life.
