To All that loved and cherished my dad, I would personally love to hear any funny or interesting memories you may have of him to better remember the man he was. He was a wonderful caring father and an even better grandfather to his family. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers we are truly grateful. Megan

My prayers and sympathy to the Buss family. I have many memories made with the Buss family. Megan, my favorite involving your Dad would involve putting small hay bales into a barn with your Dad's help. He would toss them .. .with great accuracy ... from the conveyor to their position in the mow as long as I would scamper back and forth and tamp the corners down. Of course, there would be a whole string of stories and words of wisdom shared while we were in the mow. ~ CeeCee Fink

I just heard about your dad's passing and wanted to extend my deepest sympathy and condolences to all of you. One day when Gary worked for ABS, he had a beautiful kitten in his van that needed a home and he picked our farm. Joey at first didn't see it that way and as soon as Gary opened the van door, he shot out and hid under some bushes for about a day. Fortunately, my dad and brother were able to coax him into the house and Joey became my buddy. That was over 17 years ago, and he is still my buddy and one of the best pets I have ever had. I will always be so grateful to your dad for this wonderful gift. Your dad was also one of my grandpa's best friends so I have no doubt that right now, they have a lot of catching up to do. Take care- Tina (Byrnes) Pierce
