Mr. Buzzard as born Oct. 2, 1938, in Barton County, to Richard and Ethel (White) Buzzard. He grew up in Barton County and was a 1956 graduate of Lamar High School. He married Jean Ison on Oct. 6, 1957. He worked as a printer, first for the newspaper and then he purchased and ran the Barton County Print Shop.

He loved to tinker in his shop and was known for his woodworking, especially his bows and turkey calls. He kept an amazingly organized shop with a place for every immaculately kept, clean, perfectly sharpened, painted tool. He enjoyed people and never met a stranger. He always had a story and they were always true. Those who knew him will fondly remember him and remember his habit as he walked them out the door saying, “I’ve got one more thing to tell you…..”
