A truly fine Gentleman has gone to meet the Lord. Buster loved his family, loved life, enjoyed fellowship and loved his antique cars. He had a wonderful sense of humor and some of his quips were so simple but so profound. Jackie and I extend our prayers and our deepest sympathies to Jean, Robin, Pam and all of the family. You are in our thoughts and in our hearts.
