A longtime member of Shorehaven Golf Club, Buzz served as past president and also on the Board of Governors.

He enjoyed playing and watching all sports, but most of all watching his children and grandchildren playing them. Whether in Norwalk or Arkansas, you could find him cheering them on from the sidelines. If he wasn’t on the field, he could be found on the golf course, reading a good book on the beach or at the lake and pool with his grandchildren who brought him so much joy.

Buzz had a larger than life personality that drew in everyone he met.  He never met a stranger.  He was an amazing father, husband, Pop and friend.  Amongst all his accomplishments in life, his family was his most treasured.  He was so proud and impressed with everything they achieved. His stories, sense of humor, laughter, encouraging words, sincerity, strong handshake and infectious smile will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

To send him off in a way most deserved, his family has decided to wait to celebrate his life when they all can be together safely. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his honor to St. Matthew’s Parish or St. Jude’s hospital.
