William John Buss

The name Bill Buss is like saying the name John Wayne. Ruff & tuff on the outside but a heart of gold on the inside. He was a man of honesty and integrity the old fashioned kind. A hand shake, smile, and a good laugh was common meeting with Bill. I think he would travel the earth to move mountains if he had to, just to help a friend out. Bill will be forever missed by many. My heart goes out to Erica & family. Lean on one another with friends & family at this difficult time, we will all be there. Keep Bill's memories & traditions alive and he will never be truly gone. Jon,Kristin,& Ross Strandlie

I have never meet anyone like my father. He was the greatest man I'll ever know. Dad I just want you to know how lucky I was to have the time I did with you and how lucky I was to be able to call you my dad. I won the jackpot of dad's. I really did. I miss you so much already. I love you dad

I have had so many great times with him, I gave him a death ride in a demo car with Tim Vike chasing us in the woods & we got out laughing so hard. One time his mom came in so we could check out her Tahoe because Bill & Erica were going to use it to drive to Milwaukee, so I called him up & teased him that he needed mommy's car, well he didn't use it after I teased him. There were so many times that was just laughing about stuff, I am going to miss him stopping by the shop just to b.s. & I am going to miss the guy I could turn to for advice. He told me many things that I use every day, like he told me" that they don't put a trailer hitch on a hearse", meaning - give back & pay it forward. He was like a big brother to me & I am going to miss him a lot. Joe Conant

Rest In Peace my friend. Until we meet again. See ya later!

I remember the day I met this guy. He was tough and I was sure scared of him but he opened up to me with his big heart. Bill was not a guy to mess around with but he would do anything for his friends and family. I will miss seeing his smiling face at the shop. We all loved him like a favorite uncle. I will never forget about the stories he shared with us about him and my dad that made us laugh so hard I almost peed and Russell was rolling in the lawn laughing so hard. He will surely be missed and I can't wait to see you again Bill❤😢. Brooke vike
