I just learned of Buttsy’s passing and am heartbroken. It was my sincerest honor to serve Buttsy and George Hemingway in the Legends and Heroes Tent at Wings Over Houston for many years. He consoled me after my Dad passed away in 2010, just weeks before the air show. Please know your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
