TO ALL MY NIECES AND NEPHEWS, YOUR DAD IS GONE TO A BETTER HOME TO BE WITH HIS FAMILY. PLEASE KNOW HE LOVED BOTH SIDES OF HIS FAMILY EVEN THOU HE DIDN'T TELL YOU ONE ON ONE. WE ALL KNEW BUSTERS WAYS. JEANNIE, YOU AND THE KIDS REMEMBER BUSTER IN THE EARLY DAYS GOING ON CAMPING TRIPS AND DEBBIE AND ASHEY I KNOW WHAT BOTH OF YOU WENT THOUGHT DURING HIS YEARS OF SICKNESS. HE WAS TRULY LOVED. I WILL MISS HIM FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE AND SOMEDAY I TO WILL SEE HIM WITH MOM AND DAD, TRACY,AND DAVID. TO ALL OF BUSTER FRIENDS I THANK YOU FOR HIS REMEMBERANCE

When I think of uncle Buster I can't help but to remember one really wonderful memory of when I was a little girl and stayed the night with him and aunt Jeanne. He was chasing me, Pam and I believe Vicki was there that night and if memory serves me right he was chasing us with his teeth(out of his mouth). Always when I've run into him he has hugs and smiles for me and my daughters. He will be deeply missed. In my heart I know he loved all his family past and present. People make mistakes in life, it's the people remaining that keep the good memories alive and bury the bad memories with the person that's moving on. To Buster: Always you'll be with me in my heart and give Granddaddy a big hug for me. One day we'll all be back home. Love Linda P.S. I think I've seen extra clouds lately or could that be your smoke from Heaven?

Sorry to of Buster's passing. It just seams like yesterday that Buster and Robert use to come in my father's store on Dunlop Street and eat hotdogs. We had some good old times at B & W Tobacco. We surly are going to miss him. He was a very good person...................Keith B.

Jeanne & children & their families:
Sorry to hear of your loss! Remain strong and stay tough. Buster is at peace now.

Many a late night over the years Buster and I would spot each other somewhere on the boulevard and pull off for a roadside chat. 7-11 coffee would be sipped as stories were exchanged of my latest vehicle repossessions as well as Busters many brushes with the thin blue line. Buster would have us all in stitches as he recalled that “if they take you around to the back entrance of the jail, you’re about to get a whoopin”. In recent years his sidekick Diesel was ever present and awaiting his hotdog treats.
The man must have been part cat as he slowly journeyed through his nine lives and made his way to the heavens. His life was proof you don’t need money to live rich, the love of his family and his many many friends is testament as well. I know we all owe a death, but I sure do miss my old neighbor and close friend…. It’s an inner pain that I will sooth with the memories of time spent with him.
Buster, May the engine always start and the fish be running in your river. I’ll meet you in the upper room.

Debbie,

Jeanne, my cousins, and Uncle Willy,
Speaking for my family, my husband John and daughter Amy and my father and brothers, Arthur Andrews, Artie and Barry, I would like to express our sincere sympathy. I had the opportunity to run into Uncle Buster not so long ago and he looked the same as always, he was laughing and of course joking. I remember my Mom, his sister Gladys, loved to laugh and joke with him. I know its hard now but remember that he loved you although he may not have shown it. Uncle Willy, you will always be like a brother to us, My Mom loved you every bit as much as she did us. I miss you, I know your losses have been many but trust that Mom is with them all. Hope to talk to you to soon. To my aunt and cousins, We may not have known each other alot and might not have been close as families should, I share your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Robin

To the 5 remaining children:
Remember only the good times and that your dad did love you in his own way. I know the pain you may be feeling, as I lost my own dad 6 years ago and still think of him every day. I am here for all of you, just a phone call again. You too Jeanne.. God Bless.
Debbie and daughters:
Be thankful for the time that you did have together and cherish your memories.

Dear Pam,

Our sincere condolences go out to you & your family at this time. Please remember that we are only a call away.

I will miss our talks waiting for the girls to come out at CHHS. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Deborah, Christell and Ashley. I would always ask about his smoking and if he had stopped and the answer was always the same. I had him as a patient on 2South and he would always make me laugh on a bad night. Please call and let me know if there is anything and I mean anything I can do. Our number is in the book.
To Jeannie and family: Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.Please call if I can do anything. Kelly please call me if you need anything and I mean anything even if it is just to talk Julie Seymour (AKA Mindy's Mom)

I will miss my Uncle Buster with all my heart and to my Aunt Jeanne Rainey and to my cousins Pam, Dennis, David, Jennifer and Kelly Rainey i am sorry for the loss of your father. My prayers are with you all. Love, Tammy
