Gary L Buss 69, of Hampton, passed away Sunday, October 15, 2017, at his home in rural Hampton.
He was born May 18, 1948, to Gerald R. Buss and Vivian (Coyle) Buss. Gary served his country after high school and was a Vietnam War veteran. After returning, Gary attended Ellsworth College where he earned a Masonry degree. He worked at this profession throughout the remainder of his life. He enjoyed being outside and you could often see him "flying around on his Dixon" mowing the grass at the farm in the summertime. He also enjoyed spending time with his friends, family, and of course his dogs. He never went too long or too far without his "buddies".
Gary is survived by his brothers Byron Buss of Hampton, Daryl (Sue) Buss of Iowa City, niece Hayley (Reyes) Montes of Weslaco, TX; great nieces and nephews Makayla, Collin, Jaxson, and Sophia - all of Weslaco, TX; aunt Doris Jeffrey of Rockford; aunt Mary Coyle of Clear Lake; and numerous cousins and friends.
