My thoughts and prayers are with you. I just wanted to share that my first memories of Buster are from when I was a single parent many many years ago and without a car, I took a cab home from the grocery store….Buster was always willing to carry in my groceries so that I could deal with the baby and he either didn’t charge me or charged me way less than the meter said!! He was a very kind man!! We need more people like him around!!

Buster you always treated me like a son. From the early days when I was only 11 or 12 walking back up to Silica street from Lakeside Park and you would pull up and ask if I wanted a ride uptown. He was always doing nice things for everyone and always had a smile for you. I wish I could share a moment of your time over a coffee once again. RIP Buster, Nelson won’t soon forget you. Tiny, my sincerest condolences.
