He loved our country. Served in the army 1957-1959. Retired, New York City Sanitation man in December 1989.
Buddy was a legend. Always enjoyed telling stories about his life experiences & offered advise to anyone who would listen to him. He will be “the buddy you’ll never forget”. One of his favorite quotes was, “if your good you’ll get, if your bad forget”.
Buddy was a die hard New York Ranger fan. Had season tickets for over 50 years. Hockey was his passion.
Above all, Buddy was a family man. Loved his family more then anything in this world. He will be missed dearly by all of us. Heaven gained a new angel. Till we meet again, we all love you so much.
