Dear Sue and Family: I have known Art for many years, as I used to work with Steve and Netty in their restaurant here in Regina. Art was always a teaser and we had many a laugh together. He was a great fellow and will be missed by all.
Dear Sue and family,
Please accept my condolences for your loss. My prayers are with all of you. I could only hope to be such a loving, caring, fair, charismatic and fun guy as my uncle was. I thank him from the deepest part of my heart for being my uncle and caring so much about everyone. He will be sadly missed by myself and all my family but not forgotten. I send my love to you all and my hope everyone can cope with their grief. I know he will be watching us all, for I know he is with God! Bob, Candace, Mackenzie, Madison, Abigail, Nettie and the rest of my family. Love you all……

Dear Sue, Connie, Patricia, Linda, Jeannette, Joannne, Theresa and Annette,
I was so saddened to hear of the loss of my brother Art, I still can’t believe that he is gone. As kids we were the closest in aget and I always hung around him and we were always getting into mishief, the good kind. I will miss him like crazy we were all so close and will miss his joking around he was always the card in the family. Our band will never be the same without Art. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time. Art you will be forever loved.
Your sister, Betty
MY deepest sympathy to you and your family.
To Sue & family:
We don’t know each other well Sue, but when my sister Pat and I met you in Regina last April (at Steve’s son’s violin recital), I recall your genuine friendliness and how you (both) were so very kind and compassionate to my cousin June who had very recently lost her husband (we were happy to have had the opportunity to be at that amazing recital). I had a real nice conversation with Art that day; we talked of the ‘old days’ of our families; he spoke briefly of his illness and his gratitude of how good he felt then – he looked very fine. Our family (Ben, Irene, Marge, Ralph, Pat) has very fond memories of the Buzash family through many occassions which included both, gut-wrenching laughter and sympathetic tears. The ‘Buzash boys’ played at our wedding some 48 years ago and many other family gatherings…all so memorable. We also wish Betty, Jim, Steve, Ernie, Frank (& families),peace and comfort as they share in the memories of Art.
We send you our most heartfelt sympathy.
Linda, Roger & family. We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. We know what an important part he played in your lives. Our hearts and love are with you….
Annette and family…a note to offer my sympathies on the passing of your Dad, Art. My memories of him when we were teenagers makes me smile! Both your mom and dad hold a special place in my memories. Take care…time will heal.
