Our hearts weigh heavily in your sorrow.  We hope just knowing you are in our thoughts and prayers will help to ease your pain.

I had the distinct pleasure of working closely with Buzz for a dozen years or so at SAIC.  Aside from being a terrific engineer he became a good friend.  During my struggles to become a decent engineer and manager Buzz was always there to offer me sound advice and let me know with a soft touch whenever I was being a jerk(which was often).  Though we didn't keep in touch after I left SAIC I feel a profound sense of loss at his passing.  My condolences to all those close to him.  He will be missed.

Tom,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.  I still remember when your dad worked at HP back in the 90's!  Know that your friends are there to hold you up during this difficult time!

Dear Ferguson family.  My thoughts are with you at this time.  Please remember the good times and enjoy your get together next summer with everyone.  Together again!

I worked with Buzz at SAIC (then SAI) on the BMIP (defense radar) project starting in June 1981, and thereafter, on various other projects into the early 1990s.  He was a first-rate software engineer, a great teacher, and a wonderful co-worker.  Rest in peace, my friend.

I worked with Buzz (also known as ""Old STF"" from the coincidence with a technical term that provoked him to protest that ""STF is NOT old!"") at SAIC (then just SAI) starting in August of 1981 on the BMIP project.  It was very instructive to work with him and several other ""old hands"" at the defense software business, to which I was new.  I remember him as always professional and cheerful (even his occasional grumblings were sort of cheerful).  Our last meeting was a happy coincidence when I ran into him and Ruth at Zio's Italian restaurant in Colorado Springs, where they were both in good spirits.

My most sincere condolences to the Ferguson family. Our love (Cyndy and Noah) and prayers are with you.
