Sorry to hear of Buss’s death. May you have memories for comfort, friends for support, and faith to ease your sadness
So very sorry to hear of Bussy’s passing. He was a wonderful cousin. I remember staying at their house when we’d come to visit Grandma.
We will really miss seeing Buss at the health club. He will be shooting hoops with the angles and setting new records now. He was a very sweet person. Please accept our deepest sympathy.
Lois and family I am so sorry for your loss. I am so thankful I got to see Uncle Buss the last time he was in Arizona. His sense of humor will be missed. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Lois, Angela, Ron, Dan, Marlene and Pat: Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of Buss! We are related, as my dad and Buss’ mother were cousins. I grew up in the Petersburg area, also. Happily, I got to see Buss and visit with him for a little while, about 7 years ago, when my husband and I came to Omaha for our grandson’s elementary school music program. It was a fun visit! Now, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Elaine Peterson.
Lois and family. Sincere sympathy for your loss. Thinking of you in this difficult time. Prayers for peace and comfort in all the days ahead! Janine Franzen (know Lois from GENEX)
So sorry to hear of Bussy’s passing. Bussy was a memorable childhood friend in Petersburg. I stayed with my Grandma during the late ’40s and early ’50s and he lived a couple blocks away. Then already, Bussy loved baseball and we played catch and one-o-cat a lot, and batted high flys to each other. Bussy was the only guy I ever knew that could bat his own high flys. He’d lay his glove on the ground, bat the ball straight up in the air, pick up his glove and catch it! I also remember him later as a good third base and shortstop player for the American Legion team. A year older than me, Bussy was always friendly and helpful. And a character at times. I’m really happy that he stopped by our house here in Petersburg just a few years ago, still the friendly affable Bussy, we had a great visit recalling the good old days. Rest in peace.
