Tycha and family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. My condolences on the passing of your father.
I worked for Buster in the 70’s & one of the BEST jobs I had. Buster told me I got “$3 a day & all I could eat off of the truck!” He was a good Friend & will be missed.
So sorry to hear about Preston (Buster). Hold close all the good memories. Always in your hearts.
So to hear about Buster passing.
He was really quite a guy and had a great sense of humor. Fun person to be around.
I had the pleasure of working with Preston for the City OF Ashland. He and Marge were such fun to be around and great caring individuals for our community of Ashland! My condolences to the family….
I will always remember Buster. I only met him 2 or 3 times when I went to visit my grandma (RIP Muriel Maddox) He would greet us at the door. Very friendly! My condolences to your family
Family I am so sorry for your loss. Buster was a dear friend. All the priests from St Mary’s church send their condolences. They are Fr. Holoube, Fr. AU and I also called Fr Ed Stander.
My deepest sympathy to your family. My husband, Dwight, and I had a cabin two doors down from them. I have fond memories of Buster, Marge and Eugene from there and all the fun we had. I truly miss those days. May you find peace and comfort through our Lord Jesus Christ. You are all in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Kim Hanson
