I met John several years ago. I helped rehab his shoulder. If I remember correctly, it was his shoulder. I didn't know John that well, but my cousin played football for him at the time. And I followed him in the paper on many of his coaching accomplishments. And I've followed his story since. One thing I do remember is how much fun I had when he came in for his P.T. We would talk about sports; local, college, pro. And I DO remember how genuinely nice of person he was. I was sad to hear of his passing. The community has lost a genuine man, but gained a guardian angel. GOD BLESS YOU JOHN!
Hey Coach Buskirk...It's me Jesse Owens Spikes Jr...I miss being able to see you in school...I will Be Praying For Your Family ALWAYS!!!
Jess,
I'm so sorry for your loss. John was an inspiration to all those who knew him. He will surely be missed. May Our Lord continue to hold you and your family in the Palm of His Hands, and may He give you comfort and peace at this most difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you,

Buzz always made me feel safe and welcome at Gettysburg... as he took me under his wing and treated me like a little sister and a friend. He is a amazing person who truly has touched and made a positive impact on the lives of everyone he's met. I am grateful that I am lucky enough to be one of those people. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mr. Buskirk,
We all miss u down here. The time has come that God needs u home and even though it hurts to see u go im glad ur arent in any pain anymore. it hurt me so very much when i heard the news. i cried in my room all that night. i had u for my teacher for almost 4 yrs!! u were my favorite teacher ever. u let me help u grade papers and shared stories with me. we we're close, and i thank u for being such a great teacher & friend to me. im sry i didnt make it to the service, i was at work and didnt know when it was. but the memories of u being my teacher will never leave my mind. i know that it is a very hard time for ur family and other friends, but they WILL see the light at the end of the tunnel! it will be hard but it will happen. i miss u so much. and thank u for being such a great person! u will never be forgotten.
love always
Angie (a student of his)
