Condolences

P.S. I will post/ send many photos as soon as I have the time and they are organized. Including last Christmas when I accompanied him to his work Party, where the BRAT let the owner's wife introduce me as Buzz's Wife! Aahaha, the goofy look on his face made me 'Roll with It'...

Dear Mrs. Reeves, I sincerely miss your son so bad it hurts. Alot of us are deeply saddened by our sudden loss. I was close with your son for over 3 decades. I want you to be reminded of how VERY Much Buzz loved and cherished you. He spoke often of his calls & infrequent visits with you... It was no secret how very close and loving the two of yous were. Your son's kindness, hidden tenderness, and MANNERS are Legendary among the Many women, children and close Friends he enjoyed. I would also like you to know, that after a bad MVA, I endured a shattered pelvis, It was Buzz that got me back in the 'saddle'. Buzz showed up every Sunday to cajole me onto my bike & I met ALL his friends out West thru our MANY rides. I went to Sturgis the same summer, Thanks to him... He always showed up first thing in the spring to help take out my bike n make sure it would start! One P.G. Poker Run, him & another fellow had to push start my bike at EVERY stop... Priceless! I'm sorry this is so tardy, I've been a bit of a mess since all of this is over and had a chance to 'sink in'. It's still hard to believe for a few of us. Your son finally had it all. Such a shame. In closing, you raised an incredible man that is obviously loved and cherished by sooo many. Thank You Mrs. Reeves. I sincerely hope you are doing better and not hurting quite so badly. P.S. I met your daughters at the Willow River due... They are pretty amazing too! Good job Lady! Very Warm Condolences and Sincere Grattitude, Carrie

So very sad to hear of Buzzard's passing. Sending our deepest condolences to the family. He was a genuine one of a kind guy and we were privileged to have met him. See you again, one day at the Columbus my friend....save us a seat. Forever in the Wind...Ride Free. RIP, from Rob & Katherine, Prince George, BC

Mrs. Reeves, I have been trying to tell you about some adventures I shared with your son. The outstanding special times I shared with him. This site keeps poofing me out. But this girlie girl friend, and devoted friend of your son will not give up. These little notes I write are to put a warm and gentile smile on your lips. He was dearly loved. Buzzard did throw his wing of protection over me and my sons. Maybe it is because I can not do math my notes keep getting poofed into cyber space. I do not know. Your son was a story teller. He was a special storey teller of real life adventures. He would tell a storey in great detail. He told me a story about him outracing an avalanche and I felt I was on the sled behind him, outracing that avalanche. So, if it is ok with you, I will keep trying to send memories. What the heck is 48 + 8? Isn't it 56? This site does not like my mathematical answers.

We will miss you Buzzard. We will miss all the stories, jokes and we will miss your smiling face at our Christmas Table. Our sincere condolences to Buzzard's family. Ride Free Buddy

We are so sorry. Try not to cry. Merve hated a woman's tears. Truly, the fastest I ever saw him run was when he caught me crying one time. There was dust under his boots. We also miss him very much. To me he was a dear friend, my protector, my big brother. I knew him before I had kids. My sons, Mark and Jared, only knew him as Uncle Buzzard. The crusty fool has women all across Canada crying.

— Lark Videgain, September 15, 2013

my heart is heavy for your loss. Buzzard was loved by many here in PG, I had the honor of meeting Buzzard 25yrs ago, just after I moved into town, he made me feel welcome, took me for rides on his bike and introduced me to his booze can!! lol many good times were had there with him! A laugh that may never be heard again but will be remembered by many! He was a great man, rough & tough on the outside but so warm & loving!! Thank you for sharing him with us! thoughts & prayers to the family.

— Kelly Minnie, September 13, 2013

My most sincere condolences to Buzzard's family. I hadn't known him long... just knew he had a good and true heart. I feel very blessed to have met him and spent just a fraction of time laughing with him. I just knew he was one of those special people. I am deeply sorry for your loss...

— Wendy Hanson, September 5, 2013

Buzzard was one of a kind - knew him since the Booze can - he always put on a "gruff" front - but had a heart and soul as warm as ever! I will always remember him and treasure the times we all shared with him. Ride free my friend. Take care of everyone up there for us! I know you will! Mary xoxoxo

— Mary Ullstrom, September 4, 2013

As we get older friends like you can never be replaced going to miss you Buzzard, R.I.P till we meet again

— John Lemmens, September 3, 2013

Red and I would like to send our condolences to the family. Red misses him "barking orders" at him and I miss our weekly afternoon visits when he'd come to check up on me to make sure I was alright while Red was outta town. Plus he loved his cookies I would send him home with. How he blushed at Christmas when his goody bag contained a toy plow or monster truck and car book. lol RIP We LOVE YOU!! Prince George, BC

— Doug & Joan Woods, August 24, 2013

So sorry to here about Phil's passing. We went to school together many years ago at S.S.#5 Egremont--were never particularly close as we lived down the road the other way--but he wasn't a bad guy I don't think (a bit of a rabble-rouser though I kind of remember). Not surprised to see his biker personna. Just wanted to say I remember him and I'm sorry for your loss.
