Even though it’s been a long time since I last saw Bugzy, I spent many years working on the ramp with him at USAir. He was a great co-worker and we spent many shifts discussing the Pittsburgh sports teams. He was a great guy and his smiling face will surely be missed. RIP

Whether driving by my house and stopping to say hello or seeing you at every North Hills event that there ever was , I will never forget that goofy but wonderful smile and postive feeling you gave to me and my whole family every time we saw you. Rest in Peace my friend and may God bless you. You will be missed.
Bugzy was a high friend of mine from high school , he was one of the good guys with such a love for people and life. I ran into him many times at Pitt airport. Deepest sympathy and prayers to his family.
Bugzy, I’m going to miss all the random times we’d run into each other, and how your outlook on life and gratitude was all you’d share. You came to my husband’s funeral for me. I’m going to miss you. We all will surround your children and continue to love them as you did. You will NEVER, EVER be forgotten. 😢
My sincere sympathy to the family. Garrett, all of us at St. Anthony School Programs are praying for you and Brooke.
Bugzy and I shared a birthday on the same day. We always made a point to wish each other, Happy Birthday.
He was a great person and I will never forget him. Garrett and Brooke, your father was a caring, gentle person. Any consultation, he’s with your mother watching over you two.
May Bugzy rest in peace.
My sincere condolences to your family. Thoughts and prayers are with you.
