Buster was a once-in-a-lifetime friend. We met at Jesuit High School and have been friends for 56 years. No matter how many patches of time passed when we didn't see each other, when we met once again he was always the same beautiful spirit, the same wise, protective, generous soul. His heart glowed. And, so importantly and poignantly, he was always there, yes always there at the crucial important points .... and, much more, he loved my mother with all his heart and made her so happy with his visits, full of laughter and mountains of goodies from the Italian bakery. And, even more, he brought Joe into our lives ... beautiful, earnest, glowing alongside of Buster.
I will miss him for the rest of my days. Wherever he is, may he be showered with goodness and love, Sam
