Buz died April 25, 2012, in Denville, N.J., five months after Robin, his wife of 70 years. As befits this Tower Club member and loyal Princetonian, the latest issue of PAW was in his lap when he died. He closely followed the sprint (150-pound) football squad, having been an All-American fullback on the undefeated teams of 1937 and 1938.

After Princeton he started at Columbia Law School and joined the National Guard, but transferred to the Signal Corps upon call-up in 1941. After studies at Harvard and MIT, Buz commanded a corps depot in New Guinea, later joining the invasion of the Philippines, earning a Bronze Star there.

In 1947 he graduated from Columbia, moved to Mountain Lakes, N.J., and began practice as a New York trust attorney. Starting in 1972, Buz also practiced in New Jersey. He was active in the Rotary Club, Mountain Lakes Community Church, and the Princeton Club of Northwest New Jersey. We will remember his humor and wit as well as his love of fishing, skiing, sailing, and golfing.

Besides his wife, Buz was preceded in death by his daughter Dianne. He is survived by his children Robert Bedford ’64, Dorothy Bedford ’78, and Bonnie Park; and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
