Charles Selden “Buster” Dry was born on June 15th, 1954 in Tahlequah, OK, the son of Charley and Betty Lee (Cook) Dry. He attended school in Tahlequah. Buster was a man of many talents. He had spent time in California and appeared in several movies, and after joining the Screen Actor’s Guild, playing Native American characters, his last film being White Buffalo. He supplemented his income as a security guard for Giorgio Perfume. When he lived in the Tahlequah area, he spent the mornings gathering with friends at McDonalds for breakfast and a chat with some coffee, changing locations to Carl’s Jr. on Sundays. He liked to explore for treasure at flea markets and garage sales, chatting with fellow enthusiasts, collecting guns and figurines. He adored any time spent with his family, especially his nieces, nephews, and cousins, gathering to share a holiday meal, getting their favorite drink and delivering it to them at work, or just a quiet afternoon with a cup of coffee. He loved to chat and had a delightful sense of humor. He was so very proud of his Native American History, and always portrayed his characters with depth and emotion. He enjoyed the moments he had to its fullest, never taking a single minute for granted. He passed from this life into eternity on February 7th, 2016 in Tahlequah, OK with his family by his side. Charles was 61 years young. He will be missed.
