There are so many memories I will hold dear, just as so many will. I was blessed to have him in my life for over 40 yrs. and will miss that loving and wonderful sense of humor.  He always had a quick come back, and that laugh...what an amazing man. If I have to share one, it will be that he took the time and made a trip to the coast to visit my mom in her final couple of days. She loved him so much and he always made her laugh.  Buster had the last conversation with her and they picked with each other and he ended it with a joke making her laugh. She closed her eyes as they said goodbye, never to open them again and with a smile on her face.  I still smile today holding that memory. I always held that memory dear, but now I hold it more tightly than I did. My mom was 93 and I know she was there waiting to walk with him.  My heart aches, but smiles too.  Love you Buster, truely one of a kind♥️

Buster shared so many great stories with me,i will truly miss those! Glad I had the chance to know such a great man!! Cardinal Health, Greensboro NC

I will never forget all your stories and the laughs we had over the many years. I was blessed to spend so much time with you. RIP

Buster, you will be greatly missed but always remembered. I am very blessed to have been considered one of your "Buddies."

Buster, loved that ole guy. Of course I wouldn't tell him that, he'd call me a puddin or worse. Men just don't do that ya know. I knew Buster for probably 30 years. He was my work buddy. He loved his Grand sons, he loved his son and daughter in law, and he loved his wife. He loved his whole family because I heard the stories that he would tell me about them. About his Grand sons playing ball, about his son working on cars and fishing and so on, about his wife whom he'd brag about every chance he could. I'm gonna miss that fellow and those conversations. By the way, I enjoyed the pictures that the family put together. Brought on a chuckle and a few tears. My sincere condolences to the family. 

Please know that your in our thoughts and prayers.I enjoyed working with Buster while at Cardinal Health, we had a lot of laughs together. He will be missed.
May your cherished memories bring you comfort.  
Our deepest Sympathy,
Larry & Renee' Shirley

Whenever I visited Wilson Grove Baptist Church, Buster was one person I looked forward to seeing, every time. It breaks my heart that he’s gone. His was truly a life well lived and I rejoice in knowing we will meet again in Heaven!

I’m still in disbelief, as I’m sure Buster’s family and the rest of his friends are. Never has there been a better gentleman. My heart goes out to Leigh and all of Buster’s family. 
I’ll never forget the taste of his banana pudding. 
We’ll see you soon Buster. You’ll be missed!

My condolences goes out to the Wilson family. May the God who loves and cares for you give you the strength to endure this trial.

I can think of "Buster" and see his one of a kind grin he had and remember how he would grin and his eyes would light up when joking around.
He will be missed but remembered forever.
