Chuck was a witty guy, always had a great sense of humor & so very smart. I am so sorry I didn’t get to know him better before I moved away. For Tamie and the family, I am sincerely sorry for your loss. There are truly no words that ease this pain.
Buzz was a larger than life character when he worked at SAPD. I worked with him for a few years on patrol. I recall that he was outspoken and never afraid to speak up. He was one of those guys who was a good follow up officer. Cops will know what I mean. I would guess that anyone left around who worked with him, still remembers him. Rest in peace Buzz.
