Missing you Daddy
Condolences to Carol and the entire family. I worked with Buzz almost my entire working career. I knew his Dad, Buster, and brother Freddy, before I met Buzz. Buzz came to Miami in 1976 to manage the Acousti branch there and the rest is history. In our last working days he managed the Wilmington branch for Precision Walls, and I worked for Precision in Charlotte. We still were in touch after we both retired. He was a good man and a joy to know. Thoughts and prayers to the entire family. As Ray said, hopefully we will meet again on the other side!
Condolences to Buzz's family and friends. Prayers may Buzz rest in peace with our Lord. Go Trojans and Gators he will be remembered.
I graduated from the University of Florida interviewed with Buzz Howard and he hired me back in 1981.Buzz was my boss, mentor, teacher, and friend. I worked with him at Acousti Engineering in Miami, Florida. I owe everything I know about how to run a business to Buzz Howard. Buzz was tough, honest and always operated strictly by the book. Buzz had a vast knowledge about the business if he didn’t know the answer, he would find it research it and explain it to his employees. Of course, we shared our love of the Gators, Sports in general, surfing, and fishing. Buzz will be greatly missed. I know he love people and especially his family.With any luck. I hope to see you again on the other side. God bless you, Buzz. I know you’re finally at peace.
