"Buzz", accomplished many things in his life, he lived to help people. Some of his most favored accomplishments were as follows: He was a member of the Blue Lodge Howard 101 in Elkridge, Maryland, he was a Shiner in Boumi Shrine, was the Director of Boumi Temple from 1984-1985, the President of Mid-Atlantic Clown Association in 1990, was the Director of Boumi Shrine Shepherds in 1996, a Life member of Roland Terrace Democratic Club, the President of Chester River Shrine Club in 2002, he started Mini Clinics on the Eastern Shore thru Chester River, was the Associate of Bethel Guardian of Bethel #38, as well as a member of American Legion Post 133 on Fort Avenue, the President of Yard Square Club, the Treasurer of Yard Square Club, Secretary/Treasurer of Mid-Atlantic Shepherd Association in 1996-1997, was the Founder of Clown A Rama which as the first in Baltimore, Maryland, he was a member of the Scottish Rite, and the Tug Boaters. He retired from the Coast Guard Yard, and prior to that worked for Maryland Dry Dock. "Buzz" loved to "Clown Around" and entertained many people of all ages, including and most importantly his family and quite often all 4 of his beautiful great-grandchildren. They loved to share his clown noses... and spend time with their "Great Granddad". "Buzz" loved spending time with his family. He enjoyed camping, hunting and fishing, especially when his Beverly Anne was a little girl they would fish and crab together. He hung his trophy deer head on his wall, and had a rug made out of the once in a lifetime trophy Black Bear. He enjoyed playing cards and you could most always find a deck of cards in his briefcase or suitcase while traveling or attending meetings. He loved to eat most any food, however his favorite was the food his "Josie" would prepare for him. "Buzz" gave a lot to those that did not have, and God provides for those that give back. Now it is "Buzz's" turn to receive. Society has truly lost a person that did not mind sharing even if it was just a smile or a way to make a person laugh. Buzz never met a stranger. As we say farewell to a very giving many let's all put on a happy "clown face".
