    To David and Karen-my thoughts and prayers are with you. Your father had a tremendous Godly influence on the life of my family that cannot begin to be put into words. I hope it will bring you peace and comfort to know that his touch and guidance impacted my parents and is now reaching a fourth generation. That is just the beginning. There is a huge ripple effect just in touching those two people that only God knows.
    Your dad was such a man of integrity and never backed down from speaking the truth-but ever so with love and kindness.
    He will always and forever have a very dear place in my heart and the same is true for my entire family.
    We send our love and prayers with grateful hearts at having been blessed my one of God’s greatest servants!

    Praying for the family to have God's loving arms of comfort around them at this time. You should also be comforted by the knowledge "Buzzie" can say like Paul, "It is better to be with the Lord." May God Bless and Comfort you as you journey through this time.

    Mr Buzzy was my Sunday School teacher at Bogue Chitto Baptist; I teach a class now and I base a lot of my teaching on things I learned from Mr Buzzy.
    Mr Buzzy is with Jesus now and his beloved wife Ms Marietta!!
    I will never forget him. God bless this family.

    I am so proud of my brother Buzzy. He will always be remembered as the kind of christian that not only talked the talk, but walked the walk. Many of the people whom he witnessed to will join him one day in Heaven. I am looking forward to seeing him one day when it comes my time to join him and Jesus in Heaven.
