Dear Myrna, Jimmy, and Tonya. We were very sad to hear about the passing of Buzz. That is a nice photo of him. He was always smiling and he was a true physician on cars! We had good times going to Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robbins not to mention sharing time in the mountains. Your Father and Myrna helped with Dad’s service at Adriance UMC. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. When I think of the mountains in Southern Colorado I think of Buzz.

My sympathy to Tonya and Jim for the loss of your father. I have many wonderful memories of our family’s spending time together when growing up. He and my dad grew up in Walsenburg and served in the military together I believe. God Bless.

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Buzz. May your treasured memories bring you joy, and may the ‘God of all comfort’ give you strength and a measure of peace for your grieving hearts at this most difficult time.
