So shocking and so sad. I'm in tears thinking about him, and am remembering your whole gang. I thought you guys, a few years older than me and teenagers, were the coolest kids ever. I remember seeing a group of "hippies" walking along Irving Avenue one day after school, maybe in 1967, or early 68? It was you, Peter (my brother), Buz, and a few others. My friend and I couldn't believe it when you all walked in my house. We were thrilled, and couldn't wait to walk in the front door and check out this strange and wonderful new breed of youth. Somehow I hadn't noticed that my brother had grown his hair and had this new posse of friends until that moment. My friends and sisters all got crushes on the guys and were in awe of the girls. I remember taking guitar lessons from you and going to those Jimi Hendrix concerts! I also remember giving Buz dance lessons, which I was studying. He was so into the arts that he wanted to try everything. I loved having a chance to share something I was so enthralled with, but it turned out to be much harder than I thought to explain how to execute the steps. Eventually I became a dance teacher, and taught kids for about fifteen years. Those lessons with Buz were the beginning. I had dinner with Buz and Angela (and my brother and sister-in-law) a couple of years ago, and it was fantastic to see him and meet her. What a lovely woman. They had just celebrated an anniversary and seemed so very in love. It was a blast to reminisce about our years in Providence. I'm so sorry to hear that he has passed. My deepest sympathy and condolences to his family, and to his friends. I know how much he will be missed. And that fabulous personality and huge spirit will always be part of my memories. Edith told me about your blog because a dear friend was just diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Your post is really inspiring, and I hope to show it to her. Thanks for making the effort to share your experiences. So many people must find this helpful. I'm really glad to hear you are doing well. With warmest wishes, Cynthia Millman Dear Jeffrey,

" I, too, worried that my special name for you, Buz and Peter (The Three Musketeers/The Three Stooges) might not EVER grow up. Wow, have you EVER grown up! You are an outstanding man and a loyal friend to" Buzzy B. III" One of his secondary school friends wrote to tell me that that was the way he signed his name while at the Tyler School. He was a unique individual from the very beginning. It was great to see you and Peter, even under the nearly unbearably sad occasion. Thank You for everything- for being there, for the slide show, for the opportunity to meet your lovely wife, and most of all for the honest and unabashed love you've shown for my brother. I hope you'll get my email ads. from Eric Hill(my son in law) and drop me a line every now and then. That will help to maintain a connection to Buz. I need all the help I can get right now. I'm so glad you conquered your cancer. Keep up the good work. I haven't read your blog about it yet, just a little too close to home right now..... Iwill read your blogs. I"ll also, always think of you fondly. My brother loved you. Thanks for being his friend. Love, Sandra My dear Jeffrey,

I also need to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for being there during such a trying time in our life. I know that you wouldn't have missed it for anything. Because of you I learned more of uncle Buzz than he'd told me about and I grew even closer to him even in death. I'll be sure and call you next time I'm going to be in your area. Thanks again Jeffrey and I look forward to seeing you again. Eric P.S. Man those album covers are right on time! Dear Jeffrey,
