Buster was such a fun person to spend time with and be with at lodge during their many functions. Where ever he was, that was "the" place to be. You lived life your way, friend and dad, and we all were so lucky and blessed to be along for the wonderful ride. Godspeed Buster. We will join you in but the blink of an eye.
