Buster was a great uncle, god-father. He was always so full of life and had a way to make you laugh. I always admired his ability to make friends wherever he went. I will miss him!

We was shocked to hear about the death of a friend i met in 1985 as a joyful guest from the united states in Germany. At a distance of almost 5000 miles, we are in mourning with the family and friends.
Our thoughts are with you- Our loved ones will always be by our side, no matter where they are.

Christian with family from Germany

My condolences for the loss of Buster. I didn’t personally know him, but my sister and I do remember our great aunt Freida. Herman and Marie (Bauridl) Schoch were our grandparents and Rudy was our father. Somewhere along the line, after dad’s passing at an early age, we lost touch with that side of the family.

Oh how we miss you, words cannot tell,
Your bright happy face that we loved
so well,
God took you home, it was His will,
But in our hearts you are with us still,
Time may heal, but it never can mend,
For our hearts will be broken until the
end.
And of the load you helped us carry,
Always loving, true and kind,
What a beautiful memory left behind.

He was the best Grandpa I could ever ask for. He always told everyone about me and was so forgiving. when he passed away it really effected my emotions. My family and I are here for my Grandma and always will be. My grandpa and I were very close, him and I always had fun having lunch and, playing catch outside. The people that know him, know how good of a friend he really is .
