Condolences and prayers to the family. I knew Buddy briefly yet he was a fellow Blue Jacket. Rest in PEACE my fellow classmate and friend.

Buddy was our next-door neighbor in Ardsley Park. We saw him often, working around the yard, running errands, coming and going with Susan to and from their favorite eateries. He was kind, engaging, always willing to share stories about current events and the neighborhood, past and present. He was generous with his time, his expertise and his advice, happy to lend a tool, or lend a hand, for our occasional projects and repairs. He had a refined, dry sense of humor, his puns punctuated with his signature, high-pitched laugh. We spent the summer in Michigan, and he seemed to be okay when we left. We’ll soon be returning, and can’t believe he won’t be there when we arrive.

- John & Oksana Posa, Savannah, GA
