I forgot to mention that my Dad passed away almost 10 years ago at the age of 82. He was very proud of his name Buster. God bless!!!

You don't know me but I wanted to express my sympathy in the loss of your Father in law/Grandfather. My Dad was a World War II vet also and his nickname was "Buster". These men were brave soldiers and fought for our freedom. I pray that God will comfort you at this time. God bless you and enjoy your time reflecting on the life of this wonderful man dedicated to serve his country.
