Buzz was a great and loyal friend to so many. He was morally strong and never waivered. Paul and I loved him as many did. I will miss him. I'm sure Paul Bennett had a cold Busch light waiting for him when those pearl gates opened for Buzz. Amy and Michael, my heart hurts for you both and I truly understand what you are going through. He was so very proud of you both! (yes, bald is beautiful) Please let me know if there is absolutely anything I can do. Amy - may peace be with you and Michael and Buzz- God speed my friend. Love and Hugs
