My condolences to the Buyer family, his wife, children, and sister Marilyn, sister-in-law Minnie, and Bud and Luann Fisher, and niece (?) Char Peterman, in the loss of Harvey.
It has been years, but I have many fond memories of the old Oak Avenue neighborhood, and the Buyer family. What a wonderful family. My parents knew Harvey's parents and we knew all the boys and girls in the family. I remember walking to and from Angell school past the house on the corner of Scott street.
Minnie, your husband Art built my sister Wilma Brusky' s house on Gladstone Dr. The brothers also did the house rafters for my brother Richard and Melvin houses back in 1954. I was recently telling my niece Nancy (Richard's daughter) about the Buyer family;as she now lives in her parents home on Hansen, off Giles. In addition, I Just sold Wlima' s house which they built in 1964. Fifty years later it past FHA inspection without any problems; that says alot about their talent and integrity.
I almost forgot about Harvey working at Clarke Floor with my late husband Don Sandberg. Of course he also worked with Bud Fisher. I remember a Christmas party at Bud and Luann' s. And I vaguely remember seeing Harvey's old Model A.
What great memories! Again, sorry for your loss, Harvey was a wonderful man.
Best thoughts and prayers, Mary Vanderwest Sandberg, Whitehall, Mi
