I worked with Buford for several years at Jefferson Mills. He and my husband , Jim, were our mechanics . Later they both went to Volvo and worked together for 27 years until they retired. Also he married one of my classmates from Dublin High School, Brenda McCambridge . They seemed to be a perfect couple. In all of the years that we knew
Buford he was a gentleman in every sense of the word. Rest in peace.

My husband and I both had the honor of working with Buford at Volvo Trucks. Buford was an integral part of developing the manufacturing processes used to build the Volvo truck that you see on the interstates today. He was a true gentleman through and through. Prayers for his family during this time of sorrow. Buford will be missed.
