My deepest sympathies to the family of ''Buzzy'' LaMore. I met Buzzy in the 80's during the time that I did some Boxing. We immediately hit it off. We soon realized we had lots of the same friends and had probably competed against each other in Softball. I had so many fantastic times at the Lake Edge Bar. We and other friends from that side of town had many road trips and Bar hopping. Buzzy was a very kind and generous and fun man. Everybody knew Buzzy. We lost touch over the years, but I would still often think of the great times and laughs we had back in the day. I am so sorry for your loss. May it be of some comfort to all of you knowing that he was a friend to so many. Respectfully, Jim Snow.

Buzzy was one of a kind. When my Father Died after the funeral lots of people came to the house. Buzzy stayed til everyone left did all the dishes and there were many. I'm living in Florida whenever in town would stop at players. Buzzy would always welcome anyone there. He will be very missed for his kindness and wit.
