Rest In Peace our dear friend....

[BRZkitty]

Today I received some of the worst news I have gotten in a long time.

We lost our fellow 86 friend @buzznasa two days ago.

He was an intelligent and funny person, always making everyone giggle around him. He was very knowledgeable and always gave a helping hand. We shared our very first track day together; it was one of the best days I have ever experienced. He was a loving husband, great friend and teacher. I thank ft86club for bringing us together. It was a pleasure and blessing to have known you Buzz. There will always be a special place for you in my heart. You will be truly missed. I send my condolences to his wife, she has requested for us to take a long drive down Highway 9(his favorite road) in his honor. I invite anyone and everyone to come join me to celebrate his life.

Buzz’s memorial service date is not in place yet, I will keep everyone updated when I find out more information.

Love Always,
Sandy

Wow, such sad news. I didn't get to hang out with him as much as I would have liked, but everything about him pointed to him being an amazing person. We had great conversations every time we talked. You will be missed Buzz.

Rest in Peace

Buzz introduced a bunch of us to two games during one of the most memorable Southbay meets. We played Cards Against Humanity and Ricochet Robot. I've picked up RR since and my kids and I have been hooked - playing it won't be the same but we will continue to play. Thank you Buzz.

Seeing those pics made me choke up a bit, especially the one with me lined up next to him at the track. We've spent quite a bit of time together on drives, track events, and just BSing at meets. Truly a standup guy. Buzz, my friend, you will be missed. RIP.

words cannot say how sad I am.

more may come later, but for now -- the world was a nicer place when he was with us. the world is now a little bit worse without him. RIP my friend we miss you.

Was in shock when I heard the news. You will truly be missed Buzz. :-(

I met him at 86s fiesta last fall when he just moved in town. he was excited about the mountain backroads of NorCal. since then, i saw him almost every other week as he was very active: midweek meet, Dublin meet, drive, autocross, track, or just to hang out with other 86s owner.

This one time he brought "Card Against Humanity" card game to the midweek meet. Many of us were laughing so hard and had such a great time. We kept on playing and if there was no closing time at the food court, we'd probably be there till midnight.

Last time I met him was at THill in June when Buzz is experiencing TCS off for the first time. He got some dust but he always had a smile on his face and never failed to make us laugh. He kept talking about how excited he was to try to 5-mile track in 2 weeks. We always had a blast when he was around...

Rest in peace, Buzz.

Please let me know when you is the drive on highway 9 for Buzz. I will be there!

I was floored when I found out. I only had the pleasure of meeting Buzz once but he was just a flat out cool guy. I am lucky I had the one opportunity at least.

He will be missed.

He was one of the first people that I have met and welcomed me in the 86 community and moving the bay area. I remember the first time I met him was in one first major 86 bay area meets in Livermore just shy of year ago when he showed off his impressive stereo system and even started a popular thread about it. He let me jam into the epicness of his sound system and gave me a ride in his corn fueled car. When I lost my job, he offered a chance in an interview and gave me some advice and insight into my career goals. When I first started autocrossing in SFR SCCA Oakland he was always encouraging of my improvements and driving manner. He was a regular in the Wednesday south bay meets, track and autocross events. He brought cards against humanity to one of the meets that brought so much fun and dirty humor.
He leaves a wife whom we all know he loves and adores so much and has let everyone know that he does. Norcal86 will never forget you and how much you have bought into out close knit community. It’s because of people like him is the reason why I value the community so much. Goodbye friend.
