Buz retired from East Ohio Gas with 39 years of service as a line walker and later a heavy machine operator. After retirement he drove a truck for Barco and Sons for another 14 years. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Army during World War II.
Buz was a member of York United Methodist Church for 60 years, he was an actor and former board member of Medina Show Biz, and a member of the Medina County Democrats. He was proud of his annual vegetable garden and was an avid Cleveland Indians fan.
