Oh Buzz, I can't believe you are gone so soon. I have so many childhood memories I could write a book.
I still don't think it was fair that you were such a good ice skater.
Celia and I could never keep up with you and you delighted in watching us skamper to just stay up on our skates while you whirled wildly around us!
Although we were terrified of the neighbor who lived behind your family on 34th Street, you hung with us when we yelled, "Red Rachel, Red Rachel, Come Over Red Rachel!" And when she did come, we would run , screaming and yelling at the first glance of her face!
I will say, even though you did tease Celia and me about our never-ending crushes on David Cassidy and Donny Osmond, you put up with us playing their records over and over for hours. Probably should have said days - or maybe years! My favorite part of that memory is you in the bathroom - singing in your best falsetto voice to "Puppy Love," just to drive your sister crazy! Good job my man, it worked!
I think my favorite memory of you is that no matter how many fights you and your sister had when we were growing up - I could always tell how much you two loved one another- and that was truly something very special.
You are loved my friend, and you will be missed. Fly high - you are whole again.
