Buddy was a great man and will be sorely missed. He was always great to talk to.

I'll never forget his eyes lighting up when I told him how much I enjoyed watching him run the turbo car. It was special to him just like it was special to a whole bunch of people.

My sincere condolences to Mark and the rest of Buddy's family and friends. I feel honored to have known him.

I met him once at Ennis, bought a tee-shirt from him and he just hung out at the back of the trailer and bs-ed with me for probably 15 minutes or so. He seemed to appreciate the interest of the fans and just seemed to be a really good old guy. I still have the tee-shirt!
RIP

Buddy's fine work on making an Olds run was an inspiration to me.

Buddy loved race cars...loved working and making them go fast...winning and having fun. So many funny stories! I hope he got to take a ride in his rod before be passed...lots of friends were working to make that happen. I know Buddy appreciated the efforsts and the companship.

He's one of few racers that NHRA put "horsepower" on him at an event...he just smiled and went quicker!
